“To tar the sacrifices of the Confederate soldier as simple acts of racism, and reduce the battle flag under which he fought to nothing more than the symbol of a racist heritage, is one of the great blasphemies of our modern age”.

•James Webb-Secretary of Navy And Assistant Secretary of Defense

An intentionally suppressed aspect of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation is that it offered the South the right to keep slavery if it returned to the Union within the 100 days before the Proclamation went into effect. It also only affected those states “in rebellion.” All the South had to do is quit fighting and rejoin the Union to keep slavery but they didn’t. Weren’t they fighting to keep slavery? Why didn’t they return to the Union and keep their slaves? Obviously they didn’t secede just to protect slavery. Otherwise, why would they have seceded and stayed seceded with the offer to keep slavery on the table?

During the Battle of Thompson's Station in Tennessee, on March 5, 1863, 17 year old Alice Thompson was hiding in the basement of the Banks/Darby home with many other ladies, children, and servants, while the battle raged outside the high window of the basement.

As the Confederate color-bearer passed the basement window, from which Alice was watching the fighting, he was shot down. Alice sprang from the cellar, caught up the flag and waved it over her head. Colonel Samuel G. Earle, of the Third Arkansas Regiment, saw her and shouted, "Boys a woman has your flag". Upon seeing this heroic action from one of their women, the Rebels raised a great battle cry and drove the Yankees back. While Alice held the flag, a bombshell fell within a few feet, throwing dirt all over her. Fortunately, the shell did not explode. One of the soldiers pushed her back into the cellar.

In 1844, Tallassee, Alabama’s first textile mill was established beside the river. Twenty years later, war transformed part of that mill into something very different.

A Confederate armory.

As Union forces threatened Richmond in 1864, Confederate ordnance officials transferred machinery and equipment for producing carbines from Virginia to Tallassee. The Tallassee operation was intended eventually to produce thousands of carbines annually. The war ended before that could happen.

Approximately 500 Tallassee carbines were manufactured in 1864 and 1865, and fewer than a dozen are known to survive today.

The armory escaped destruction. Union forces bypassed Tallassee in 1864 and 1865, failed to destroy it.

Camp Meeting Sept 2026

Commander Waldo Started the meeting with camp business and upcoming events. Afterward our own compatriot John Hayes gave an engaging and interesting close up look at many of the weapon types used in the War Between the States. He has a wealth of knowledge on these weapons and his presentation was very fascinating.
