RECONSTRUCTION AND SINCE
As a fit climax to, and exhibitory of, Yankee hatred, malice, revenge,
and cruelty practiced during the war, the North bound the prostrate
South on the rock of negro domination, while the vultures,
"carpet-baggers" and "scalawags," preyed upon its vitals. Unlike
Prometheus, however, the South did not have its chains broken by a
Hercules, but rose in its own might and severed the fetters that bound
it, and drove away the birds of prey, and her people are now free and
independent, controlling their own state affairs without let or
hindrance; though many at the North are still growling and snarling,
threatening reduction of representation in Congress, howling about negro
disfranchisement, and the separation of the races in schools and public
conveyances.
Let it never be forgotten that in Virginia in 1868, 80,000
"carpet-baggers," "scalawags," and negroes voted to disfranchise every
Confederate soldier who fought for home and native land, and every man
in the State, young or old, who would not swear that he had never given
aid or comfort to the soldiers in the field, or sympathized with the
Southern cause. Armed Yankee soldiers were posted at every courthouse in
the land. Civil law gave place to arbitrary military rule. The names of
states were obliterated, the states being designated as "Military
Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3," etc. Detectives were abroad in the land.
Everything that Yankee ingenuity and malignancy could conceive of was
done to humiliate the Southern people. This service was very distasteful
to some of the Yankee officers and soldiers, but they were urged on by
the venom of a majority at the North. Peaceful citizens were hauled up
before the military courts on complaints of worthless and vicious
negroes, whose word was taken before that of the white man.
The "carpet-baggers" were unprincipled Northern men who came South after
the war—political adventurers and freebooters—to steal and plunder as
office-holders. The "scalawags" were native white men, many of them
skulkers and deserters during the war, who, like the "carpet-baggers,"
sought political office—"apostates for the price of their apostasy."
They took sides against their kith and kin, fawning on the Northern
South-haters and traducers, joining in with the despoilers of the South,
"that thrift might follow fawning."
And all these atrocities practiced by the North in the name of "liberty
and freedom," and, as it was often expressed, that, "treason might be
made odious." "Oh, Liberty, what crimes are enacted in thy name!"
Treason, indeed! Lee and Jackson "traitors"? Blistered be the tongue
that utters it. The brave men of the South who for four years fought as
never men fought before. "Traitors"? Palsied be the hand that writes it.
The charge of treason against the South is as black as the hearts that
conceived it, and as false as the tongues that uttered it.
Henrich Heine, in speaking of England's banishment of Napoleon and his
death on the lonely island of St. Helena, says, "Brittania! thou art
queen of the ocean, but all great Neptune's ocean can not wash from thee
the stain that the great Emperor bequeathed thee on his deathbed."
Well might it be said of the Washington Government, both during the war
and afterwards, that not all the waters of all the oceans can wash away
the stains of infamy practiced by it upon the South and her people. The
cruel torture of President Davis at Fortress Monroe is a "damned spot
that will not out," along with thousands of other acts, some of which I
have enumerated.
A large majority of the Northern people were bitter enemies of the
South, vilifying and slandering the Southern people, and sought to
degrade and oppress them in many ways, but not all of them were so
disposed, and many others are beginning to see the heinousness and folly
of Reconstruction.
A late Northern paper, the Brooklyn _Eagle_, says: "Under Reconstruction
the Republican party outlawed character, dispensed with fairness,
degraded decency, elevated ignorance and invested in barbarism, under
all the forms of politics which covered the fact of brigandage." A true
and just arraignment by a Northern man, it gives a true statement of
facts in a few words.
No wonder, then, the great mass of the people of the South have stood
together for their section, and are political opponents of their
traducers and persecutors.
There are, however, many just and good men at the North who were opposed
to the invasion of the South by the Northern armies and the waging of
that cruel war, who have, since the war, battled for the rights of the
South, and held in check, to some extent, that puritanical element
which, like the Pharisee, ascribes to itself all the virtue and
intelligence of the land.
The original Puritans came to this country, as they said, to escape
persecution. I think the truth is, they left their native country for
that country's good. I have often thought that if the _Mayflower_ had
landed at the bottom of the ocean instead of on Plymouth Rock, it would
have been much better for this country.
The New England Yankees are, in a large measure, responsible for the
events that brought on the war, and for the atrocities committed in the
South during and since the war. I don't believe the West and South would
ever have gone to war had it not been for this puritanical spirit of New
England. Envy is the ruling attribute of the Puritan; magnanimity is
foreign to the Puritan nature. One thing formerly practiced by the New
Englanders, they utterly failed to establish in this country. A good
thing it was too for the old women, or else many more of them might have
been burned, hanged or drowned as witches, as was done in New England
when the Puritan spirit prevailed in its undiluted state.
The following is a copy of an old-time Massachusetts legal document,
reproduced here that early history may be perpetuated:

"GEORGE CORWIN,

As before said, the sentiment at the North is changing in favor of the
South; many are beginning to learn the true history of the past and
present state of affairs, though the South still has its traducers and
slanderers there, for in this year of grace, 1907, a Sunday-school
magazine up North printed in its columns the following: "And when
General Lee invaded Pennsylvania, at the time of the battle of
Gettysburg, destruction and rapine followed in the wake of the invaders.
There was evil and misfortune at every turn." A bigger lie was never
told. A fouler slander was never uttered.
The South, despite its enemies, is advancing rapidly in material
interests, and is destined to be the most prosperous portion of the
United States. "King Cotton" is coming to his throne again. The South
has always been the most chivalrous, conservative and American-like,
holding more closely to the traditions, customs, and manners of the old
days, where the high and unselfish principles of right, justice and
honor, which go to make up the true gentleman and patriotic citizen,
have always prevailed. The pure Anglo-Saxon blood still predominates in
the South, as well as the spirit of the cavalier. Blood will tell.
The average Yankee has a very poor conception of what is right and
honorable in his transactions and intercourse with his fellow-man, and
very faint conceptions of those principles of right and justice which
are the same among men of honor, world without end. To drive a sharp
bargain, to get money no matter how, but to get money, and diffuse and
enforce his own ideas and notions, seem to be the _summa summorum_ of
all his ends—as witness the developments in the past few years of
rascality and thieving being brought to light at the North, as it exists
among the "great captains of finance," as they are wont to be called; I
think "great thieves" would be a much more suitable appellation. The
foundations of many of the great, overgrown fortunes at the North were
laid during the war by swindling and stealing by Government contractors,
and they are still at it. Graft, graft; fraud, fraud, everywhere and in
everything they touch.
As before said, the South is coming to its own again. I firmly believe
the days of retribution will come when the evil deeds the North
perpetrated in the South during and since the war, will be avenged, not
in kind perhaps, but in some way. "The gods wait long, but they are just
at last;" their "mills grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fine." God
is just; His will be done.
I have written much more than I anticipated in the beginning—the subject
and occurrences opened up the "cells where memory sleeps." The more I
wrote, the more I recalled.
These reminiscences were commenced several years ago and virtually
completed last February. Since then they have been gone over, revised,
added to and some parts rewritten, and now on this, the 31st day of
December, in the year of our Lord, 1907, the last day of the year, are
completed.
