Whereas: April is the month in which the Confederate States of America began and ended a four year struggle for states’ rights,
individual freedom, and local government control, and
Whereas: April is the month in which the Commonwealth of Virginia, after struggling politically to remain with Honor within the
Union of States, but being forced by Lincoln’s call for the Militia of the States, upheld her rights as specified in her Constitution, and
her ratification of the Constitution of these United States, with the overwhelming support of her citizens by vote, withdrew from
the Union on 17 April 1861, and
Whereas: Rockingham County supported the War through the actions of her citizens, numbering some 23,500, both in the military
and on the home front - some 3000 men served in the various military organizations raised throughout the County, out of a military
aged population of only 4,163, and at least 225 men and boys paid the ultimate sacrifice in response to Duty, Home, and Country;
millions of dollars of agriculture were supplied in support of the war effort in Virginia, millions more were destroyed by invading
troops during the 1864 Valley Campaign; numerous civilians, both white and black, free and slave, provided support, comfort,
and aid to the war effort; three battles of the 1862 Valley Campaign were fought in the County - Harrisonburg, Cross Keys and Port
Republic, and
Whereas: Virginia has long cherished her Confederate History and the great leaders, such as General Robert Edward Lee, General
Thomas Jonathan Jackson, and General Turner Ashby, and the people of Rockingham County have long cherished her Confederate
History and the memory of the men who served in the 10th Regiment Virginia Volunteer Infantry (Bridgewater Greys, Chrisman’s
Infantry, Harrisonburg Valley Guards, Mauck’s Company, Peaked Mountain Grays, Riverton Invincibles, Rockingham Rifles),
Rockingham Confederates, Harrisonburg Cavalry, Rockingham Cavalry, Letcher Brock’s Gap Rifles, Valley Rangers, Chipley’s Cavalry
Company, Sipe’s Cavalry Company, Patterson’s Cavalry Company, Mt. Crawford Cavalry, 58th Regiment Virginia Militia, Rockingham
Reserves, and various home guard organizations, who made sacrifices on behalf of the Confederate Cause, and
Whereas: It is vital that Virginians reflect upon the Commonwealth’s past, and honor and respect the devotion of the Confederate
citizens, soldiers and civilians, both white and black, free and slave, to the cause of Southern Independence, now
Therefore, we hereby proclaim the month of April 2012, during this Sesquicentennial year of the War Between the States, as
“Confederate History and Heritage Month” in Rockingham County and encourage our citizens to become more knowledgeable of
the role Virginia and the Confederate States of America played in the history of our country.
