Our History

Benjamin Morgan Palmer, in Minutes of the Ninth Annual Meeting and Reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, Held at Charleston, South Carolina ... 1899 (New Orleans: Hopkins Printing Office, 1900), p. 27:
[I]t is sometimes asked, why we should stir the ashes of that ancient feud, why we should not bury the past in its own grave, and turn to the living issues of the present and the future. To this question, comrades, we return the answer, with a voice loud as seven thunders, because it is history, because it is our history, and the history of our dead heroes who shall not go without their fame.
Seven thunders: Revelation 10:3-4.
