HONEST JEFF AND DISHONEST ABE

HONEST JEFF AND DISHONEST ABE
A Southern Children's Guide to the Civil War

If you’re a Southern parent who’s fed up with the Yankee myths, distortions, lies, and anti-South propaganda your child is being taught at school about the Civil War, then Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe is for you. Award-winning author and Southern historian Lochlainn Seabrook, one of the world’s leading pro-South writers, has created an incomparable guide specifically for Southern children, one that teaches them the Truth about Lincoln’s War - from the South’s perspective!

Written for ages 8-12 (grades 2-6), the book is conveniently divided into six sections and thirty-seven chapters, and covers all of the salient facts and events of the War. Included are chapters on the causes that led up to the conflict, the real origins of American slavery, the truth about Southern slavery, the start of the War, the secession of the Southern states, descriptions of significant battles, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln’s criminal behavior, black and Indian Confederates, Robert E. Lee’s surrender, the everyday life of a Confederate soldier, and Confederate weaponry. Seabrook also provides detailed information on the many suppressed elements of the War, including discussions on the Constitution, politics, and American history, covering "politically incorrect" facts that your child will never hear in school.

Profusely illustrated (with black and white pictures that can be colored), this children’s version of Seabrook’s blockbuster, Everything You Were Taught About the Civil Is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!, explodes the Northern fairy tales that were created to hide the Truth about the War for Southern Independence and the countless atrocities committed by the Union.

Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe: A Southern Children’s Guide to the Civil War, the result of some twenty years of study and research, will not only help educate your child about the real Civil War, it will also teach them about the traditional values that have always been so important here in Dixie: a love of God, country, and family, respect for our Southern heritage, pride in our Confederate history, and a reverence for our Southern ancestors. Adults will benefit from reading Seabrook’s South-friendly book as well, especially non-Southerners who are interested in learning more about the Southern view of Lincoln’s War. Includes a comprehensive glossary, index, and bibliography. Foreword is by Al Benson Jr., publisher of the Copperhead Chronicle, former editor of The Christian Educator, and author of Lincoln's Marxists (with Walter D. Kennedy).

Like many of Seabrook’s two dozen other books on the War, Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe is destined to become a standard in American literature.

An attractive, unique, affordable, and popular tourist-friendly work that will appeal to both young Civil War buffs and adult educators alike, Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe is the perfect addition to any retail outlet, including not only bookstores, but Civil War sites, historic houses, museum gift stores, antique shops, B&Bs, tack shops, motorcycle shops, and gun stores.

Unreconstructed Tennessee author Lochlainn Seabrook, a cousin of Robert E. Lee, is the winner of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal. Known as the “American Robert Graves” after his celebrated English cousin, Seabrook is the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford and the author of over thirty popular adult and children’s books, fifteen of them on the War for Southern Independence.

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

"It seems to me that in the battle for the preservation of Confederate and Southern heritage and culture we need to be aware of some of the resources that are out there for folks to utilize. Too often we lose the battle because we show up unprepared to deal with an adversary that has been trashing our heritage for 150 years and more and we just found out about the battle last month. So we march into the fray, confident because we now know some truth, and we get stomped on because our enemies have books and publications with over a century and a half of lies contained in them while we have something we got off the Internet last week.
      "We need to start off by training our youngsters in the truth, and that won’t happen in a couple of weeks, or even a couple of years. But we have to start and we have to continue to work at it—pointing out Yankee/Marxist untruths and balancing them off with facts. If you can start your kids off young, so much the better.
      "A really good age group to begin with is ages 8-12, or grades 2-6 in school. Kids are old enough to begin to learn history at that point and there is a new book out now that will enable them to begin. Written by Lochlainn Seabrook, this new book is appropriately titled Honest Jeff & Dishonest Abe—A Southern Children’s Guide to the Civil War. It was published by Sea Raven Press, SeaRavenPress.com of Franklin, Tennessee. At a level appropriate for 8-12 year olds this book deals with the slavery question and who was responsible for slavery in America. It deals with the abolitionists both North and South (true abolition started in the South not the North) and it deals with the real reasons for the war and the personalities involved, including terrorists like John Brown and dictatorial personalities such as Abraham Lincoln.
      "Books such as this were unavailable when our children were this age but had this one been around our kids would have used it. For a beginning study about the history and reasons for the War this is a good place to start. It is a foundation you can build on. The book sells for $24.95." - Al Benson Jr., author of Lincoln's Marxists

FROM AMAZON: 5 out of 5 stars. "A wonderful reference book for young and old. Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe is a must for every home. It is definitely a keeper. You might lend it to a very special friend, but you will make sure you get this book back. I will use it as a reference when I write or talk about this period of our country's history. I plan to purchase extra copies for gifts. Honest Jeff and Dishonest Abe is proof that history written by a courageous and truthful author is far from dull!" - Johnette Galt

FROM FACEBOOK: "Should be a good book for my home schooled grandkids." - Ronny Mangrum, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Franklin, Tennessee
