In his ongoing efforts to resuscitate and preserve authentic Southern history, popular award-winning author Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook has written The Alexander H. Stephens Reader, a one-of-a-kind, 1,050 page volume providing, as the subtitle indicates, topical Excerpts From the Works of a Confederate Founding Father.
Conveniently divided into two sections, Col. Seabrook devotes thirty heavily footnoted chapters to selections from the Conservative Vice President's enormous output of personal and public letters, speeches, official testimony, recollections, responses to critics, and literary works. The period covered is from 1836 to 1881, with the last half of the book dedicated to excerpts from Stephens' deservedly renowned two-volume tome, A Constitutional View of the Late War Between the States, published in 1868 and 1870.
Col. Seabrook's unique work provides us with something of inestimable value: the Truth about Lincoln's War on the South and the Constitution. From Stephens' own pen and lips we get not only a rare look at the Southern perspective of the War, but also the governmental history of the formation of our great "Confederated Republic," as George Washington called the U.S.A. We also learn of the Founding Fathers' struggle to forge a workable constitution, the early battle between Southern conservatives and Northern liberals over the ideas of limited and big government, and the honest facts about slavery, the Confederate and Union Causes, and the American "Civil War," our country's second Revolutionary War of Secession.
At the end of Chapter Thirty, the reader is left with only one conclusion; the very one that strict constitutionalist Stephens, a brilliant lawyer, writer, and orator, spent the entire last half of his life evangelizing: because secession literally gave birth to the U.S.A. in 1776 and is tacitly guaranteed in the Constitution, it is still legal to this day. Thus, the "Civil War" was an illicit and unwarranted conflict and Abraham Lincoln was a war criminal.
The Alexander H. Stephens Reader, already becoming a classic in its field, will forever change the way you look at American history, the Confederacy, the Union, the War, the U.S. Constitution, and Confederate Vice President Stephens himself. The Introduction is by Charles Kelly Barrow, former Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Available in paperback and hardcover.
Neo-Victorian scholar Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is one of the most prolific and popular writer-historians in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the "new Shelby Foote" and the "American Robert Graves," and by his fans as the "Voice of the Traditional South." The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and currently the author and editor of 100 educationally enlightening books. Described by his readers as "game changers" and "life-altering," his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts tha
