Robert James Warner
The History of the Sea, Lake, and River Battles of the Civil War, is an expose, a denunciation, a condemnation of the lies, the distortions, the deceits, the misrepresentations, and the slanders of the biased civil war historians, the biased movie makers, and the biased makers of TV Specials, who write distorted books, distorted movies, and make distorted TV Specials about the civil war.
For example, President Grant is slandered as the butcher of the civil war, when the real butcher is the traitor Robert E. Lee by an actual count of the men he killed in the battles he fought! Another example is the big lie that the Monitor and Merrimac battle was a draw when it was a clear cut victory for the Monitor!
There are two classes of people in The Damn Slavers: The people in the 22 Loyal states and in the 11 traitor states: the Loyalists: the victims; and the people in the 11 traitor states and in the 22 Loyal states: the traitors: the villains!
One of the biggest vile lies of the civil war is the depraved lie the traitors won most of the battles!
The author counted hundreds of the bigger land battles and the sea, lake, and river battles! This battle count is what Damn Slavers is all about!
Surprise, Surprise! The Loyalists won most of the bigger land battles of the civil war by a ratio of about 2 to 1 from the start of the civil war and won most of the sea, lake, and river battles too, by an overwhelming margin!!
If you want to learn some real truths about the civil war, read Damn Slavers! A History of the Sea, Lake, and River Battles of the Civil War!
Robert James Warner was born on September 6, 1925, in Long Beach, California, one of a set of twin boys.
He was raised in Long Beach, California, attending the local schools.
He was drafted into the Navy on March 9th, 1944 (WW2), when he finished High School.
He was discharged from the Navy on June 16, 1946.
He went to Long Beach City College, on the G.I. Bill, taking Mechanical Engineering, then journalism. About a year and a half later he quit.
Mr. Warner was an avid reader of books, which ignited an interest in writing fiction.
During the next few years he wrote some songs and some poetry and some short stories. His output was quite low.
From 1947 to 1950, after leaving City College, Mr. Warner had a number of inconsequential jobs, the longest at Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach for eight months, then he quit.
In 1950 he enlisted in the Active Naval Reserve. Three months later, the Korean War started and Mr. Warner was called back into the Navy Aircorp in July, discharged in August, 1951, serving on three aircraft carriers, off of Korea, bombing and strafing the communists!
After Korea, 1951, Mr. Warner went to sea on a freighter as a deckhand, making two trips to the Hawaiian Islands, 30 days round trip, hauling bulk sugar for C&H Sugar in Crocket, California, on the Sacramento River.
Leaving the ship in Crocket, Mr. Warner went to Santa Rosa, California, where he washed dishes in some restaurants and got a poem published in the local newspaper, a big day in his life.
That spring, 1952, he went to Yosemite, washed some more dishes, then went home and back to City College majoring in journalism, writing a column on the college newspaper.
Mr. Warner has cleaned chicken dung from under the pens; he owned and operated his own auto wrecking yard; owned his own 2nd Store; worked as a copyboy on the Long Beach Press-Telegram; was half owner of a yacht landing; speculated in Real Estate and worked at some other odd jobs, going to work for the
Long Beach Fire Department in 1953 for the next 26 years, retiring in October, 1979.
Mr. Warner got married in 1961, had his son in 1963; was divorced in 1973.
The summer of 1974, Mr. Warner and his son, Jeff, drove to Alaska. On his return, Mr. Warner wrote his first novel, a huge science-fiction-fantasy novel of over 2,000 pages, The Island of Eden.
Mr. Warner has written and self-published 42 books with Author House, including novels; one poetry book; 3 non-fiction book: The Origin of Life, and two civil war books; and number of short story collections.
Mr. Warner is hard at work on other writing projects.
The splendid, fearless, dedicated service of the Navy, in close partnership with the Army, destroyed the traitors in every section of the country where a boat or ship could float, especially on the rivers of our country, in particular on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, that ended at Vicksburg, Tennessee, one of the most important battles of the civil war, and certainly the turning point of the civil war, because the surrender of Vicksburg returned control of the entire length of the Mississippi River and its tributaries back to the control of the Army and the Navy, splitting the traitor states in two and promoted General Grant to General in Chief of the American Armies!
Most civil war historians say that Gettysburg was the turning point of the civil war, but they are wrong. The historians say this because Gettysburg and Vicksburg happened almost at the same time, on July 1, 2, 3, 1863, for Gettysburg; July 1, 2, 3, 4, 1863, for Vicksburg, after a siege! In fact, Vicksburg surrendered on July 4th, 1863.
Since General Grant was not given credit for his magnificent win at Vicksburg, and, since both battles happened at about the same time, and, since July 1, 2, 3, 4, 1863, was an obvious turning point of the civil war, our disloyal civil war historians, refusing to give General Grant credit for his splendid win at Vicksburg, and being too damn dumb to know which of the two battles was the most important, have always said that Gettysburg was the turning point of the civil war to this day, a state of affairs that makes one shake one''s head in angry outraged resentment that such lies can be perpetuated for such a long time, 144 years (1861-2005), after the civil war!
The purpose of my book is to give a short history of the sea, lake, and river battles of the American civil war. This book is a companion book to my first civil war book, Damn Slavers, A Short History of the Biggest Land Battles of the Civil War. The reason I wrote this book, and my first civil war book, is because there is so much claptrap, balderdash, poppycock, hogwash, bilgewater, lies, propaganda, and, pure unadulterated bullshit!!! written about our civil war on land, with little or nothing written about our Navy''s dedicated, courageous, heroic service all during our civil war!
Have you ever seen one civil war movie about what our Navy did during our civil war? I sure as hell haven''t! I don''t believe Hollywood every made a movie about what the Navy did in our civil war! Oh, yeah, I forgot, there have been some movies made about the Monitor and the Merrimac, but they were so distorted, twisting the truth so badly that the real truth was not allowed to intrude on the crud the movie makers wanted to brainwash the movie goers with! For example, Franklin Buchanan, the traitor slime in command of the Merrimac, was a career Naval officer of 46 years service who had founded the Naval Academy at Annapolis and had been its first Superintendent.
Traitor slime Buchanan had actually taught, at Annapolis, some of the Naval officers he fought against in the civil war!
To me, a traitor slime like Buchanan, who was on active duty when the traitor''s sneak attack on Fort Sumter took place, is a traitor of the most despicable kind! How can a man serve in a Navy for 46 years and then attack and fight against that same Navy, to defend the evils of slavery?
IT IS TREASON AT ITS MOST DESPICABLE!!
One of the most important facts our disloyal civil war historians never mention about the Monitor and the Merrimac is the fact that the Monitor was 1/5th the size of the Merrimac. If it had not been for the two huge cannon on the Monitor the battle between the two ships would have been a grotesque joke since the Monitor was so much smaller. If the two ships had been sailing warships with such a big size difference, the Monitor would have been destroyed with ease by the Merrimac, about like matching a destroyer against a cruiser!
Another important fact about the Merrimac that is always left out, is the fact the ship was so badly designed that it took 45 minutes, FORTY FIVE MINUTES!, to turn it around, which means that the picture we have all been brainwashed to imagine of the Monitor and the Merrimac steaming nimbly around each other blasting away with their cannon at each other with great enthusiasm and courage, which they did, of course, but with the Merrimac steaming around with all of the nimbleness of a waterlogged log!
The Monitor didn''t handle very well either, but it was better than the Merrimac, and, the Monitor was better protected by its armor. The only thing that saved the Merrimac, was the fact that the crew of the Monitor did not put as big a charge of gunpowder in their two cannon that they could have, because they had not been allowed to practice with the two cannon, or because they had not been drilled and trained well enough with their two cannon to know that the two cannon could be safely fired with the maximum powder charge that they were designed to be charged with, and, with different, heavier cannon balls.
At full gunpowder charge and with the heavier cannon balls the two cannon of the Monitor would have been able to shoot cannon balls through the sides of the Merrimac, destroying it, which is why the two big cannon were installed on the Monitor in the first place!!!
The tragedy of the histories of our civil war is the important facts that are left out by our biased disloyal civil war historians who write their histories to portray their bigotry and bias, usually in favor of the Damn Slaver traitors, instead of giving our people the real truth of our civil war objectively, no matter what that truth is!!!
The biggest amount of bullshit written about the civil war is about the traitors who attacked America and tried to secede from our country by Force of Arms, by overthrowing the federal government of the United States of America!
For some unknown reason, the traitors in the 11 traitor states and in the Loyal 22 states (later 23), are portrayed as a group of noble, loving, compassionate, congenial, generous, well-mannered, super brave, super patriots, who lived in a splendid, bucolic, magnolia draped country where Black slaves enjoy serving their masters, and where everything is King Cotton, mint juleps, blooded horses, Riding to Hounds, shooting guns, grand living, and where the noble people go to big parties all dressed up in magnificent costumes and dance the days and nights away, which is pure bullshit of the purest kind!
During the senseless, bloody, destructive, civil war that these same beautiful people started because Abe Lincoln was elected president, they are portrayed as the best fighters in the whole wide world (more bullshit), warrior Knights riding against the horrible monsters of the ''noth'', gentlemen soldiers with a Code of Honor and beautiful ladies with a Code of Honor fighting a make-believe hideous person called a ''Damn Yankee'', who has nothing else to do but to destroy the ''south'' for some unknown make-believe reason. These beautiful ''southern'' gentlemen and ladies never say just what profit, gain, advantage, the hideous ''Damn Yankees'' in the ''noth'' are going to get after they have destroyed the ''south''?
The writers who use the history of the civil war as a theme for their writings, write 100 books about the noble ''south'' defending the evils of slavery to every one written about the hideous ''noth'' preserving the Union and destroying the evils of slavery. I guess the reason for this psychosis is some kind of inborn obsession to write about a group of White traitors who fought against their own country and against their own people to defend the evils of slavery: one of the most senseless, destructive, bloody wars, if not the most destructive, bloody war of the 19th century as if that war was not the most destructive and bloody war of the 19th century!
Another reason, I think, that so many people write so many books about the pastoral, bucolic, ''south'' is to try to explain why and to justify why those beautiful ''southern'' people turned traitor, attacked their country and their people to protect slavery and to try to steal territory away from America, territory that did not belong to them! After all, Americans would not let some foreign country take any territory away from America, so why would Americans let some insane, bloodthirsty, demented American minority in the ''south'', steal territory away from America By Force of Arms? Americans wouldn''t let some foreign enemy take American territory, so why would Americans let domestic, American enemies steal American territory by Force of Arms?
THEY WOULDN''T!!! AND THAT''S WHAT THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT!!!
In my first book about the civil war, Damn Slavers, A Short History of the Biggest Land Battles of the Civil War, I counted as many of the land battles as I could that I had a record of, so I could find out which land battles were the biggest land battles, and which side, Loyal or traitor, won most of the civil war land battles, big, medium, and small.
Counting the civil war land battles, and finding out which side, Loyal or traitor, won most of them, and then counting the wins and losses for each side, revealed a most astonishing fact: most of the civil war land battles were won by the Army, not by the traitors, as we Americans have been brainwashed to believe for 144 years (October, 2005) by our disloyal civil war historians who write about our civil war so they can wallow in their own despicable bias, bigotry, and bullshitism as they continue to portray our civil war as a civil war where the traitors were not traitors, treason was not treason, overthrowing our government was not overthrowing our government, seceding from the Union By Force Of Arms was not seceding from the Union By Force Of Arms, the 11 traitor states were a country instead of a permanent part of The United States of America, and the traitors are the good guys defending the evils of slavery, the Loyalists are the bad guys defending the territory of their country and destroying the evils of slavery!!!
Since I wrote my first book about our civil war, I have found a book that contained a chronological list of all of the land, sea, lake, and river battles of our civil war, a grand total of 2,261 battles. Unfortunately, the book does not record which side won which battles, which would be of immense value to any study of our civil war, because such a record would reinforce my own incredible discovery that our Army and Navy won most of the battles of the civil war, about two to one from the start of the civil war, and, by doing so, our Army and Navy won the war!
I wanted to find the 100 biggest battles of our civil war, but surprise surprise, there weren''t 100 big battles fought during our civil war!!!
There were 95 big land battles fought during out civil war, and our Army and Navy won most of them by a ratio of 2 to 1, and, the 2 to 1 ratio began at the beginning of our civil war and held true to the end of our civil war!!!
If my many readers don''t believe me, they can count the battles themselves!!!
