Contraportada

Two decades after the debut of The South Was Right!, the ideas espoused by authors and twin brothers James Ronald Kennedy and Walter Donald Kennedy can no longer be dismissed as the outrageous declarations of a radical element. They are the well-researched and popular view of a generation seeking to expose big government and the growing loss of states' rights and personal freedoms.

Not for the faint-hearted, The South Was Right! is an authoritative and well documented study of the mythology behind Civil War history and its effects on contemporary society. The authors present extensive evidence that the South was an independent country invaded, captured, and occupied by a vicious aggressor, as it still is today. The Kennedy brothers eloquently and clearly contrast the stark realities of the tremendous human cost of the War for Southern Independence with the nearly bloodless political revolts and economically driven secessions of the twentieth century, including those of Eastern Europe and the American continents. They examine how Southern secession in 1861 was based upon a violation of unalienable rights as announced in the Declaration of Independence, and, just as the captured nations of the old Soviet Union reemerged when that empire crumbled, the Kennedy twins predict that "the South shall rise again!"

Southerners should read this book with a sense of obligation to the truth. Others should read it with open minds.
