Excerpt from Confederate Veteran, Vol. 26: January, 1918 Other articles in this booklet will be on the line of cor' teeting other wrong ideas of the South's position and its fight for constitutional rights. Such a work has become all the more necessary because of the general disposition of writers and speakers of the present to parallel the present Germany with the South of 1861-65. In the introduction to The Gray will be a number of quotations revealing much misinformation, one of which is from a speech by Gen. Francis V. Greene before the Y. M'. C. A. Of New York City, in which he said (comparing the present war with the War between the States): This contest is on a scale of um paralleled magnitude, but the issues at stake are the same. The forces of autocracy and world dominion will make as stubborn a defense as did the forces of slavery and disunion, and the forces of liberty and freedom will be as resolute to obtain a righteous decision as then.
