Are you sure it isn't Lehey? He also runs a trailer park in Canada.

I have such a sickness and regret deep down for not spending my child and teenage years reading. Luckily, I’m 25 years old. It’s certainly not too late. Love the book content!

You are right! Here in Florida the majority of the homes don’t have porches and I missed that a lot.

I would love to hear more that opposes the general narrative about the south that they were basically evil racists and everything was only about slavery.

Love it to had found the pipecottage channel and now your new channel so educational. I love reading so keep them coming. Thank you.

What are your thoughts on the seemingly growing Homestead movement, if it can be called a movement, and the increasing number of first generation farmers and ranchers in the U.S.? There do seem to be a number of people who are trying to make a go of it. I know of a number of ranchers who are doing the Direct to Consumer business model to sell their beef and other products.

You sold me on Dirck's book, aim to find a copy. Despite the Napoleonic avatar, I am an American with both Deep South, and Yankee roots. I lived in Georgia for a time, miss it deeply, but due to family issues, had to move to the Midwest to help out. Still a Southerner, just in a foreign land (lol, actually quite a few Midwesterners are grade A folk). I admit to not knowing a great deal about President Davis, even though I'm a military historian, working on some works I hope to publish dealing primarily with the great, lamented, misunderstood Army of Tennessee. Your video has inspired me to dive deeper into Mr. Davis, and since I already own William Cooper's book, I suppose I should read it. Thank you for the great discussion, always glad to see some like minds, and a brother in Christ.

I also highly recommend Kibler's moving collection of verse, "Poems From Scorched Earth."

I hadn't read "Red Hills and Cotton" since college, half a century ago, so just ordered a copy. Thanks for reminding me of a classic!

Dr Harrelson: A fellow traditional Catholic, Southern patriot friend of mine recently sent me a link to one of your videos. I've been hooked ever since. You say things I like to hear, in an accent that I can appreciate! I've been involved in Southern Nationalism via the League of the South since 1996, and I have many of the books you reference in your videos in my own library. I've quoted from them often in my own speeches over the years. I plan to attend the conference of the Southern Cultural Center in Wetumpka, Alabama in a couple of weeks, and I very much hope to get a chance to meet and talk with you while there. May God save and free the South! [><]

Dr Harrelson my wife and I are seeking to relocate to Tennessee after falling in love with the people and the culture. I am looking forward to the influence of both on my family. What I don’t want to do is bring in any influences from non southern culture. Can you recommend books that will help me understand and assimilate to this culture that I so appreciate?

Can you recommend a good and truthful biography of General Robert E. Lee?

good morning alan. my understanding is that the 14th amendment changed our nation from a federation of free and independant states, plural, to a single collectivist country, singular, the United States. We lost our country as the founders gave us and fought for in 1868 with the 14th amendment. Am i correct or just 'off my tree'?

I would like to know if we can still say what the agrarians did in 2024. The South has changed a lot

Because the worst thing that happens to most people is they get dumped or cheated on. They never really struggle, 18 hours without a snack or treat, and people act like their starving. They've never faced a find it or starve. They've never been under a real threat. They have absolutely no value perspective of life because it's never been tested. Fail in nature, die. Fail in society and get free food, shelter, and emotional and spiritual support. Breaking up is not a significant life event. You spent 4 years in high school and think you're an adult. Worst still, no example of these struggles are evident either. We are living a rats in paradise experiment where in real time, despite our logic and reason, are falling into the same trap they did.

Our culture Is the best at saving time! The problem is we use that time to be on our phone

Came here just for the weaver content, never seen a pipe cottage video ❤

Very good presentation.........thanks for the recommendations sir.

Do you travel and speak to groups?

Fascinating

You are a scholar and a Catholic gentleman.

Please continue making these videos and don’t be disheartened or discouraged by those who do not have the ears to hear. You are gem of a person and I would say a good man from what I’ve witnessed. God Bless

Sometimes the best way to get along is to ruffle some feathers.

You’ve brought me great joy with what you share on this channel. My father was a Christian a, teacher, a religious man and a farming man. So I can very much relate to the topics you speak on. And I also find them important topics. Thanks Mr Harrelson.

Thank you for this channel good sir.

Praise the Lord indeed. 🙏🏿 that’s a beautiful song.

I really enjoyed you singing this song and sharing your story.

Hi Mr Harrelson, I just discovered your channel through a pipe video on another channel. And I must say you really have helped me at very important time in my life. I’m 31 and I’m from Australia. I was raised in a family that were quite devout Jehovah’s Witnesses and have always struggled with the values that my parents had tried to instil in me. After waking up from a nightmare last night about my dad, feeling very troubled as I awoke. And since my father passed away in 2017 and it just seems like time has been running away by itself since then and so many things have changed. I wonder what he would have thought of the current circumstances we all find ourselves in today with the state of peoples attitudes and way of thinking about things now and whether he could relate at all to this new modern life we find ourselves in with the constant technology and divisive nature of politics and religions these days not to say he didn’t experience his own version of that during his times. I just think back on our times together and really cherish the memories I can recall. Your videos really strike a chord with me, no pun intended. But I just wanted to say thank you for your wisdom you share on this channel and I think you really have some special insights and candour which is hard to find in this modern life that I appreciate very much. So thank you for these videos you make because they are helping through a bit of a challenging period in my life.

keep making these videos

Those words are healing to the soul

Your not catholic as Dwayne has already told you

Read Weaver's TSTAB years ago. A seminal book for me. Weaver was influential on Russell Kirk, one of the key figures in (genuine) American conservative thought.

Quite interesting point of view, thanks for sharing!

You deleted my post. How very confederate of you: re-write history to suit a failed modern paradigm

To understand the attitude of post Civil-War America, when Gen. Robert E. Lee returned to his home, he was dismayed that the Union had seized his home and property, and had buried Union soldiers there. He and his family left, and his property was transferred over. His property now sits at the heart of Arlington National Cemetery. History is written by the victor.

I’m at a loss. So many issues: 1. Regarding Kentucky, not a single Kentuckian ever cast a vote for Davis. The real question is why did they ever have a statute of him in the first place? 2. Previous service to the country does not mitigate treason. And however you try to rationalize it, it was treason and sedition against the United States of America. 3. It is a failing of quasi-academic conservatism that they try to drag historical paradigms into modern political thought. They are contextually and practically incompatible. 4. Conservative academics NEED to find a way to talk about the Civil War without minimizing or justifying slavery as a historically acceptable institution. It wasn’t. Point blank, it wasn’t. Lincoln was nearly a failure because of his moral ambiguity towards slavery. Davis was failure from start to finish.

I had the pleasure of taking Civil War and Reconstruction with Dr. Robertson at Virginia Tech. Thank you for the recommendations.

The "Past is a foreign country" argument is a duel edged sword imo.

My dear Doctor Harrelson, You are a "Jacob's Well"; I dropped my bucket in and you came up; how very wonderful. I am convinced after study and some prayer that the salvation of my country will come from out of the South; the Catholic Church will be a part of that; Bishop Strickland is the first martyr example; there are more to come. You, Shelby Foote, and the Abbeyville Institute have convince me that we have been lied to about the South, the Civil War, as well as a good many other things. Do NOT stop what you are doing; at last I know I am NOT alone.

Jim is a treasure!

The CSA Constitution and Alexander Stephens beg to differ on Race not being the "Cornerstone" of the Confederacy and the Jim Crow South. To a lesser extent,, and arguably, I also include the Modern American South and even the US more broadly. Frankly Im stunned at this apologia. The CSA and up until VERY recently the "Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy" sought to PRESERVE vs defend "an agrarian lifestyle." I personally don't think one can preserve or defend the historical Southern "Agrarian Ideal" whilst credibly boasting the Ante Bellum South's "serious" gradual emancipation efforts.

Just as you've said you can't blame the cause of a war on one single issue, I tend to find anyone who judges a man on one single event in their life and those that do are often lazy generally ignorant and always wrong

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your story about meeting Ward and Felicity Alan. Entertaining and enlightening as always. God bless.

Deo Vindice

What was Jefferson Davis mind set on slavery did he agree with it ? Was he against it? Was he about white supremacy I don’t know that’s why I am askin

Irish racism did not classify Irish men as 2/3 of a person, nor were those suppressed Irish men bought and sold as property. Slavery is and was a detestable practice no matter the country in which it was practiced. To insinuate that somehow the American South is not to be held accountable or given a pardon because the practice crossed country and state lines is lazy at best and sinful at worst.
