SD warne1 ag&inst advancing the in
t~re>ts Of ta0ze who have histories for
Sa!e, refore, be il resolved:
THAI we have 40 pacuaiaTy inter
es: IN Sny history, aud empha;ical!y
assert tNst all that we desire is that
ne truth be published in regard to the
ys,ac
2 Tb,,t We fought for the rirciples
2S local self government and States
rights ss enumerated By Jefferson and
rasiltalued by Calhoua, Hayne and
ether southern statesmen, andia op
aGs'riop 10 stcoag concentrated GOV
.rrment as advocated by Hamilton,
Webster AID others.
That we have reason to believe
that . sQtficien! effort IS not being
msde by our southern people and
especially by cur teachers to educate
the young people in the true causes
which led to the war aud that there IS
Danger that in adopting the northern
pronunciation, etc, they lnolbe north
err opinions also.
That the war is an important and
Integral part OF the history Of this
country anG cannot be olotted out and
that for the south to be silent simply
means endorsing the northern ac-
counts.
S. That we request the State board
Of education, whenever practicable, as

"casus belll" to incorporate into the
South Carolina histories copies Of the
