soldier. At the outbreak OF the civil
strife young men and old, with high
hope and bounding faith. entered
upon that thrilling year undo: the
Stars and Bars with whatever arms
they could provide for themselves;
while on the other side, the men
under the old flag Of the Stars and
Stripes, were armed with all the
latest and best for battle.
Time has wrought many changes
and we now have a better under
standing of the history of half CEN
fury ago. There is new spirit in
writing history, spirit of fairness,
a spirit of truth. And that is what
the South desires-the truth OF his
tory. The North viewed the con-
fiict as rebellion. while the South
regarded the action Of her sons as
secession, a right guaranteed, as
she understood it, by the constitu-
ton, and a right which has been so
decided by our highest tribunal
since the war. But this right has
been settled by the abitrament Of
arms, and never more will any part
of our country appeal to arms tc
vindicate their views. A better
understanding of our Southern
leaders has come with the passing
years. President Davis, General
Lee, General Early and many others
in the light Of subsequent events
have revealed qualities which al
one time the South questioned they
possessed.
The South is at last taking bel
rightful place in the Union. FreeC

the Southland has become the sea

derstood it, although many vexa
