"A primary object...
should be the
education of our youth
in the science of government.
In a republic,
what species of knowledge
can be equally important?
And what duty
more pressing...
than communicating it
to those who are to be
the future guardians
of the liberties
of the country?"
~~ George Washington

About Me

My photo
J R "States" Manship
"Master of American History" per John McCaslin of The Washington Times on 29 Nov 2005; in 2003 wrote a "Revolutionary" Christmas play telling of the true first Statue of Liberty of a black boy soldier - who gave his life for your Liberty; in 2002 in-person history work was compared by Delegate Lee Ware to the work of David McCullough in books; from 1998 to 2001 former member of the Board of Visitors to Mount Vernon appointed by Governor Gilmore. At age 12, wrote a 168 page paper on the War Between The States encouraged by my mentor from church, Ralph McGill. *** McGill was the Publisher of The Atlanta Constitution, and instructed me at age 10 to read and love "tHis Constitution FOR the United States of America" because as a young reporter, McGill witnessed the Austrians vote away their written Constitution for the promises of the government, the Nazi government! I ask how far are we in America from voting away our God given Constitution? *** Ralph McGill received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a.d. 1964, and the Pulitzer Prize in a.d. 1959. I was blessed by McGill's mentorship for he was called: "The Conscience of the South".
