"Surrender means that the history of this
heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be
trained by Northern school teachers; learn from Northern school books
THEIR version of the war; and taught to regard our gallant dead as
traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects of derision."
