Earlier this month, the Civil War Trust announced a new campaign to save 244 acres of the Cross Keys and Tom's Brook battlefields in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Together we can save the very ground where 5,000 Confederate soldiers held off 10,500 Union troops under General John C. Fremont in June of 1862. And at Tom's Brook we can save land where West Point friends and battlefield rivals Tom Rosser and George Custer fought.</div>

The Cross Keys Battlefield has always had a special place in my heart. The 51-acre <a href="http://members.civilwar.org/site/R?i=0K2ieWqqTYlNq1RaB_Ughw" id="yui_3_2_0_12_1332904462129421" rel="nofollow" style="color: #234786; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px;" target="_blank"><span class="" id="lw_1332904466_6">"Widow Pence Farm" tract</span></a> was the very first battlefield property that the Trust purchased after I became president. Now, twelve years later, we have another excellent opportunity to preserve even more at Cross Keys. Coupled with our new efforts at Tom's Brook I hope that, like me, you will be motivated to take full advantage of the chance to buy 244 acres for just 1.8 cents per square foot.</div>

Earlier this month, we concluded a great event in the Shepherdstown and Antietam region. It was great seeing so many of our Color Bearers at the 2012 Weekend event. And as I look at my calendar, I can see that our 2012 Park Day and Annual Conference in Richmond are coming soon. Both are great opportunities to support our mission and to learn more about our history. Join us!</div>

</div><div><strong style="font-weight: bold;">(Atlanta - March 14, 2012) </strong> The Georgia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans announced today that it is launching a statewide radio campaign to educate the public about the events of 1862 as part of its ongoing effort to commemorate the Sesquicentennial celebration of the War Between the States. </div><div style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div>At the heart of the radio campaign is a series of ten new history segments which will broadcast on radio stations across the state over the remainder of 2012. The radio commercials each commemorate specific events which took place exactly 150 years ago this year during the War Between the States, also known as the War for Southern Independence. The commercials deal with some of the major battles of the War from 1862 such as The Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of Shiloh; but they also highlight the technological breakthrough of the Confederacy which produced the first successful modern ironclad ship in naval warfare, the CSS Virginia. Another of the ten radio spots recalls the atrocities committed against Southerners by Union forces including the infamous "Beast" Butler who commanded Northern troops during the Yankee occupation of New Orleans. Finally, events specific to Georgia history are included such as the heroic defense of Fort Pulaski in Savannah by the Georgia militia in the face of intense fire during the first assault of a masonry fort by rifled cannon.</div><div style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div>All ten of the new history segments are available for listening or as downloads at the Georgia Division website as part of an ongoing educational effort to commemorate the people, causes, and events of the War. The general public is invited to make use of the many online educational materials made available free of charge by the Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans.</div><div style="padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br />

</strong>It is my pleasure to announce that the 2012 League of the South national conference will be held in the new Alabama LS culture center and headquarters in Wallsboro (Elmore County), Alabama, on 20-21 July (Friday-Saturday). The LS building is located on US Hwy. 231 north of Montgomery, the first Capital of the Confederacy. The new venue was opened to the public on Saturday, 21 January, with speeches, music, food, and good Southern fellowship. We look forward to showing off our newest League real estate to you all this coming summer. Please mark the dates on your calendar and plan to join us for a fun, informative, and inspiring weekend on our own beautiful property.<br />
<br />
The theme of this year’s conference is “Bringing Communities Back To Life.” The program will feature several practical workshops that cover the cultural, social, economic, and political revitalization of our Southern communities. Confirmed speakers thus far are Michael Peroutka, noted attorney and former Constitution Party Presidential candidate; Franklin Sanders, author, editor of The Moneychanger and The Free Magnolia, and LS Board member; Mike Tuggle, blogmaster of The Rebellion Blog and LS Board member; and Michael Hill, LS President. As usual, we will have some surprises.<br />

Winter Symposium "The 14th Amendment and its Legal Transformation"<br />
</strong>When: March 10, 2012<br />
Where: Barnesville Civic Center, Barnesville, Georgia<br />
<br />
The 14th amendment is perhaps the most controversial among the 27 embodied in the U.S. Constitution. And for good reason! The 14th amendment fundamentally altered the nature of the federal government, it’s relationship to the states, and the very definition of “citizen”. This one day symposium will, among other points, will explore the following topics: </div><ul id="yui_3_2_0_22_1331337592670526" style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 40px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><li id="yui_3_2_0_22_1331337592670525"><br />

The information we will be discussing is dynamic and very important to understanding who we are, and our status with the law.<br />
<br />
In order to cover expenses and compensate our speakers, we will charge a fee of $30.00 for singles, $55.00 for couples. There will be a limited amount of scholarships available for students and/or clergy. 18 and under are free.<br />
