From Cuban Freedom Fighter to Confederate Colonel
When Spanish bullets tore through Ambrosio José Gonzales’s thigh in a Cuban plaza in 1850, he became immortalized as the first Cuban to shed blood fighting for independence from Spain. 14 years later, he would command Confederate guns against Union troops at the Battle of Honey Hill, inflicting one of the most lopsided defeats of the Civil War. Born in Matanzas, Cuba on October 3, 1818, Gonzales entered a world of educators and intellectuals.
Lincoln’s Mercenaries
A review of William Marvel, Lincoln’s Merenaries: Economic Motivation Among Union Soldiers During the Civil War (Louisiana State University Press, 2018) As the eminent historian John Lukacs observed, causation and motivation are the two most difficult historical phenomena to prove and explain.

No Southerner could hope to win the presidency or vice presidency in those long, lonely years.
“Our Confederacy”
The socialist-democrat party’s leaders—particularly Rep. Pelosi—have taken to referring to “our democracy.” The term serves as a cudgel against political opponents in the de-civilizers’ attempts to justify or garner support for whatever unethical, unlawful, or unhelpful activities they seek to advance.
