Mission: South Central Texas has a large contingency of Southerners who have a genealogical background in the Old South. It is our desire to encourage and infuse these progeny of The Grand South with a fresh and revitalized respect for what their ancestors stood and many died for during the conflict with the Northern Invaders; in what has come to be known as, the Civil War. We Southerners are charged by those who came before us to raise the Banner of Truth as to what the Southern Culture was really like and present the true character of the principals that shaped our nation’s history. Because of the government education system, it is not common knowledge that whoever wins the war gets to impress their culture and write history.

With the implications of this in mind, on the weekend of August 29^th 2003, an event is shaping up to focus on the Historic South and a Period Cultural event that is so much more full-orbed in its scope than a combative reenactment of arms alone can allow.

Theme: “Our so-called intellectual class insists that the war was fought over slavery, pure and simple — an argument which the Southern activist finds himself responding to with a depressing frequency . . .” -- Professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

Agenda: We have an exciting agenda coming together and with your help it shall provide a memorable occasion that will become an annual event scheduled in on calendars months in advance. Our program offers a variety of interesting theme driven historical seminars and cultural activities which will touch the hearts and minds of participants of all ages: those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

The Premier of the Southern Historical Conference and Bonnie Blue Ball will be held in the historical Cibolo Valley VFW Hall, 1000 Hwy 78, Schertz, Texas. The Hall is easy to find with plenty of free parking, Air Conditioned, and Child Care Service available.
