Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late… It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Their schoolteachers; will learn from Their school books Their version of history; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision… It is said freedom is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny for it is a way of life we seek to protect, our subjugation is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.
