Let us Agree to Disagree.

ATLANTA, GA, September 49,
Atlanta Camp, No. 159, United
Confederate Veterans, at it's last
meeting adopted resolution, couched
in strong language, taking exccp-
tions to resolution passed at the
recent encampment at Chicago Of
the G. A. II. relative to Southern
school histories. 1t was held by
the G. a. r. resolution that many Of
the histories used by Southern
school children gave partisan view
of the historical facts of the civil
war.
After giving briefly several Incl
dents in the war the resolution
adopted by the Atlanta Camp con
cludes:
"ln the language of the resolutions
of the Grand Army we, of the South,
also call upon all patriotic citizens
to aid in banishing from our schools
all books and teachings of partisan,
sectional or disloyal character, but
we remind our fellow citizens of the
Grand Army of the Republic that so
long as the Northern schools are
supplied with books that teach that
the war between the States was or
ganizcd rebellion, designed to des-
troy the Union; that Jefferson Davis
was the arch traitor, (whlc John
Brown was hero and martyrD that
Robert e. Lee, Albert Sidney John
ston and Stonewall jackson were
guilty of treason; that Semmcs,
Tattnall, Buchanan and Waddcll
were wicked pirates, and the South
crn armies were bands of rebels, the
adoption of these resolutions by the
Grand Army of the Republic is but
hollow farce.
"Thc resolutions themselves TEEN
with partisan anger and misreprc-
scntation. Whenever the unfair
partisan books Of the North are cor
rcctcd ard all evidences of hatred
of the South eliminated thcrcfrom it
will then be time enough for our
Grand Army friends to call for re-
form in the matter of Southern his
tories"
