A Southern View of the Invasion of the Southern States and War of 1861-65

An excellent deep-dive into the war between the states. A short, easy read to get the perspective we were not taught in school. Proud of my ancestor's work. Hope you enjoy it, as well as all of his other works.

Thank you

Tremendous account of The War for Southern Independence. Those who know, know. A must have for the library of a Rebel. The South was right!!

Great look into the mind of Southerners about the "Civil War", whom some still see as an invasion and a brutal attempt at enforcing Northen politics, etc on a group of states that by the very Constitution had the right to leave peacefully. Definitely a great addition to any library of anyone that loves Southern history and wants to understand the mindset of people at the time.

Another fine book exposing the hypocritical lies put forth over the hundred-plus years since Mr. Lincoln's war. What makes this book unique is that it is written by a man who was actually part of that history, rather than studying about it third hand decades later. The author was a captain in the Confederate States Army and served so for the duration of the war. He died in 1938 at the age of 97...the last living commissioned officer of the Confederacy. The true causes of the war, not the scam of "slavery" are exposed. The horrible cruelty of Lincoln is illustrated. For example, who knew that only a few months before the end of the war, Jefferson Davis, realizing the South could not win, asked Lincoln to cease hostilities, and allow the seceded states to return, without the institution of slavery, and live as one nation once again. Lincoln said, "no, let the Southern stop fighting and submit to me. They cannot return to the Union, for they were never out of the Union. Only complete submission would allow the war to end." It is sad to think how many lives, both North and South, could have been saved if Lincoln had accepted the surrender. But what is worse than this is the illustration of how the sentiment of Northerners and Northern publications vilified all things Southern for 25 years before the war. The level of unabashed hatred was so great, that several states tore up the constitution in their zeal to destroy the South. They even called for the murder of Southern women and children, as a just reward for their being in the company of slave holders. The level of prejudice and hatred without any semblance of reason is frighteningly like what we see in today's society, in the struggle between anarchists left groups and conservative constitutionalist groups. A small book of only 125 pages, it is early read, but beware...it will infuriate you to know the long hidden, but sad and sorry truth.

Haven been a high school history teacher for years before retirement, I have always been interested in reading more about the history that isn’t mentioned in the watered down books they use now in schools. This book was insightful.

Very compelling arguments put forth that better explain why southern men left behind home and hearth to fight in a war in which they were outnumbered and under supplied than the modern revisionist idea that the North fought to free the slave while the South fought to keep slavery perpetually.

Get an inside look of the War of Northern Aggression from someone who was actually there and seen the devastation that was done by a Tyrant. A great book and full respect to Capt Ashe for telling us the true stories of the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation by a new American Empire.

great service, great product

Well written and researched. Not just an idle opinion but facts.
