Those who honor and defend symbols of Southern heritage have found themselves under well-organized (and financed) attack. In summer of 2000 following the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State House Dome, restaurant entrepreneur Maurice Bessinger raised it and the South Carolina flag over each of his restaurants in the Col... more »umbia, South Carolina, area. He issued a press release calling for a public discussion of state sovereignty. Not only did this discussion never take place, but because of a single tract on display tables in his restaurants he found himself denounced by the liberal media as pro-slavery and a racist. His award-winning products were boycotted by Wal-Mart and several grocery store chains, eventually costing him 98 percent of his wholesale business. In *Defending My Heritage* Maurice Bessinger tells his story for the first time, from his childhood and upbringing in extremely poor, Depression-era Orangeburg Co., S.C., to his rise in the world of Southern barbecue. His golden colored barbecue sauce became Columbia's claim to fame. He also tells the story of how he became involved in politics. Mr. Bessinger argues that "on his property a man is king." This gives him the right to serve his customers to the best of his ability without interference from the federal government. He also shows, in plain and simple language using several cases from his own life experience, how dangerously far this country has strayed from its Constitutional foundations. Mr. Bessinger tells why the fight to preserve Southern heritage and symbols and its symbols is so vital today. The Old South and its values of independence, local control over both government and business, and Christianity, are the last bastions of opposition to a rising tide of globalism. This movement seeks to bring all the nations and peoples of the world under a single umbrella of control by an extremely wealthy and powerful elite trying to build a world government--sometimes called the New World Order. Mr. Bessinger has concluded after years of study, prayer and reflection that this New World Order is nothing less than the forerunner of the Antichrist, whose rise to power in the end times is foretold in both the Old and New Testaments. In this book, Mr. Bessinger reveals the true meaning of the X-cross symbol on the Confederate flag along with its 4,000-year-old history, and the real reasons why this flag is under sustained assault today by the forces of political correctness. He challenges us all to (1) begin bringing our country back to the Constitution and our people back to God; (2) restore a Constitutionally correct relation between the states and the federal government, based on the Ninth and Tenth Amendments which provide the Constitutional basis for state sovereignty; (3) observe state sovereignty by flying state flags over state capitols in all 50 states; (4) return the Confederate flag to its rightful place beneath the South Carolina flag to honor the Southern heritage of independence, state sovereignty and opposition to the concentration of power in the federal government. While noting that we may have a rough ride ahead if we oppose the forces of globalism openly, Mr. Bessinger's message is one of hope--by placing our trust in God, not in government or politics or political parties.
