There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization Gone with the Wind.

This paragraph says it all about the end of a way of life, tne collapse of the Old South, which fell to its knees, never to rise again as they once were but could never be again. Instead, the intrepid southerners vacated their plantations and migrated to cities where they started their own businsses based on reconstruction needs for sawmills and many other organiations new to Atlanta and the deep South. It was not easy, but neither was losing their way of life, and again, they rose to the top and won their battles, against whomever dared to challenge them.

Virginia, Maryland, SC, NC and Georgia were those which seceeded from the union in 1861, prompting the beginning of the War between the States, which lasted from 1861 to 1865. Jefferson Davis was president of the Confederacy and Abraham Lincoln was president of the union.

The first states seceeding were South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia,

Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. Following the Confederate attack on Ft. Sumter in 1862, four more states seceeded: Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

Although the Confederacy did not have luxuries as the union, such as food, shoes, warm clothing, coats, horses, and munitions, because the Confederates had the great leaders, such as Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, leaders who were experienced in artillery and horsemanship all their lives in rural areas, and trained in logistics and life in forests, it took the union four years to beat the Confederacy, in the bloodiest war of all the United States wars combined, with most casualities and most fatalities.
