Authentic Hoodoo - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America
HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America - Film
We have reached 6% of our crowdfunding goal. Help us reach 10% today:
HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America is our new film production based upon our book HOODOO PEOPLE: Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in North America - Akan Custodians of Hoodoo from Ancient Hoodoo/Udunu Land (Khanit/Nubia).
Shooting for our second film began this February, 13019 (2019). HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion is the second film in our series, the first being AMARUKAFO ADEBISA - African American Ancestral Divination which is screening in multiple cities now. See the trailer and order the DVD for that film here:

In our first film we introduced forms of divination preserved in North America within our Ancestral Religions of Hoodoo (Akan), Juju (Yoruba), Wanga (Ovambo - Gullah), Ngengang (Fang) and Voodoo (Ewe).
In our second film HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America we go into detail about this tradition in particular. Our Akan Ancestresses and Ancestors preserved our Ancestral Religion after having been forced to migrate to the western hemisphere 300 years ago during the Mmusuo Kese (Great Perversity/Enslavement era). Our film is based upon our book - HOODOO PEOPLE: Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in North America - Akan Custodians of Hoodoo from Ancient Hoodoo/Udunu Land (Khanit/Nubia):
In this book we trace the origins of Akan people and Akan languge, culture, cosmology and ritual practices to ancient Khanit (Nubia) through West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) to North America.
In this film we will examine the origins of the false religions and fictional characters including jesus/yeshua and christianity, muhammad/allah and islam, abraham, isaac, ishmael, moses and hebrewism/judaism, buddha and buddhism and more. Our book KUKUU-TUNTUM The Ancestral Jurisdiction details how these characters were manufactured by the whites and their offspring for political purposes. We will showcase this information in the film.
We will also examine the nature and function of the Akofo, Warriors and Warrioresses, who used Hoodoo, inclusive of Rootwork, to wage war physically and through chemical and biological warfare, against the whites and their offspring to force the end of enslavement in North America. This includes those who were actually Akan - Okofo Yaw (Nat Turner), Okofo Kwabena (Denmark Vesey), Nana Abenaa Araminta (Harriet Tubman), Nana Nyamma (High John the Conqueror).
Featured in the film will be: Amma Asaase Agyei, Afia Asase Bretuo and Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan.
We began shooting this February, 13019 (2019), on Edisto Island, one of the Gullah Islands of South Carolina.
For those who appreciated the first film, you will be very excited about the second film. It takes the information to the next level including language, etymology, cosmology, ritual practice and more which is characteristic of our 31 books and 353 broadcasts that many are familiar with.
Contribute to our crowdfund today and your receipt for your contribution is also your ticket to attend our screening of our film HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America in your city once released. We can only get the film completed with your assistance:

Content of the video and Sections beginning time (clickable) - Chapters of the audiobook: please see First comments under this video.
This librivox recording comprises part of chapter 22 and all of chapter 23 (The March To The Sea – From Atlanta To Savannah – November And December 1864) of American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Memoirs. Sherman was one of the premier generals fighting for the North. In 1864, Sherman succeeded Grant as the Union commander in the western theater of the war. He proceeded to lead his troops to the capture of the city of Atlanta, a military success that contributed to the re-election of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Sherman's subsequent march through Georgia and the Carolinas further undermined the Confederacy's ability to continue fighting. He accepted the surrender of all the Confederate armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida in April 1865. Sherman’s scorched earth policy marching his army through Georgia from conquered Atlanta to coastal Savannah was a strong factor in breaking the South’s will to fight. The South’s surrender came just five months later. He steadfastly refused to be drawn into politics and in 1875 published his Memoirs, one of the best-known first-hand accounts of the American Civil War. British military historian B. H. Liddell Hart famously declared that Sherman was the first modern general ( Wikipedia and david wales)

A Brief History of Transatlantic Slavery - White & Black Slave Masters
1st Part- Excerpt from Thomas Sowell The Economics and Politics of Race: An International Perspective: ...2nd Part- Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. on PBS ...3rd Part- Black Slave Owner and Breeder in South Carolina - The Interesting Story of William Ellison - /10150197461001481/ ...William Ellison was one of the wealthiest men in the South as well as being a black, former slave. He owned cotton gins, plantations, and 68 slaves. And from accounts of the time, he wasn't very nice...At the peak of slavery in the United States, large numbers of free Negroes owned black slaves; in fact, in numbers disproportionate to their representation in society at large. In 1860 only a small minority of whites owned slaves. According to the U.S. census report for that last year before the Civil War, there were nearly 27 million whites in the country. Some 8 million of them lived in the slaveholding states. The census also determined that there were fewer than 385,000 individuals who owned slaves. Even if all slaveholders had been white, that would amount to only 1.4 percent of whites in the country (or 4.8 % of southern whites owning one or more slaves, however, around 30% for free blacks owned slaves).
In the rare instances when the ownership of slaves by free Negroes is acknowledged in the history books, justiJcation centers on the claim that black slave masters were simply individuals who purchased the freedom of a spouse or child from a white slaveholder and had been unable to legally manumit them. Although this did indeed happen at times, it is a misrepresentation of the majority of instances, one which is debunked by records of the period on blacks who owned slaves. These include individuals such as Justus Angel and Mistress L. Horry, of Colleton District, South Carolina, who each owned 84 slaves in 1830. In fact, in 1830 a fourth of the free Negro slave masters in South Carolina owned 10 or more slaves; eight owning 30 or more.

ARMY LIFE IN A BLACK REGIMENT by Thomas Wentworth Higginson - audiobook - MILITARY BLACK HISTORY
Army Life in a Black Regiment by Thomas Wentworth HIGGINSON (1823 - 1911)
These pages record some of the adventures of the First South Carolina Volunteers, the first slave regiment mustered into the service of the United States during the late civil war. It was, indeed, the first colored regiment of any kind so mustered, except a portion of the troops raised by Major-General Butler at New Orleans. These scarcely belonged to the same class, however, being recruited from the free colored population of that city, a comparatively self-reliant and educated race.

The Notebook (film)
The Notebook is a 2004 romantic drama film directed by Nick Cassavetes, based on the romance novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. The film stars Ryan Gosling and
The next morning, Elderly Noah (Duke) is found unconscious in bed and is rushed to the hospital. After returning to the nursing home, he goes to Allie's room and she remembers again. Allie questions Noah about what will happen to them when she won't be able to remember anything anymore, and he reassures her that he will never leave her. She asks him if he thinks their love for each other is strong enough to 'take them away together'; he replies that he thinks their love could do anything. After telling each other that they love one another, they both go to sleep in Allie's bed. The next morning, a nurse finds them dead in each others' arms.

Production
Filming
The Notebook was filmed almost entirely on location in South Carolina,[2] in late 2003 and early 2004. Production offices for the film were set up at the abandoned Charleston Naval Base in North Charleston.[3]
Much of the setting of the film's plot takes place in and around the town of Seabrook, SC, an actual town which is one of the South Carolina sea islands. It is located 20 miles inland, halfway between Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. However, none of the movie was filmed in the Seabrook area. The house that Noah is seen fixing up is a private residence at Wadmalaw Island, SC, which is another sea island locality situated 20 miles closer to Charleston. The house was not actually in a dilapidated state at any time, but it was made to look that way by special effects in the first half of the film. Contrary to the suggestion in the film's dialogue, neither the house nor the Seabrook area was home to South Carolina Revolutionary hero Francis Marion, whose plantation was actually located some distance northwest of Charleston.
Many of the scenes set in Seabrook were filmed in the town of Mt. Pleasant, (a suburb of Charleston). Others were filmed in Charleston and in Edisto Island. The lake scenes were filmed at Cypress Gardens (in Moncks Corner, SC) with trained birds that were brought in from elsewhere.
Another major portion of the film was set at an unnamed nursing home, presumably located somewhere in the Carolinas. The nursing home scenes were actually filmed at Rice Hope Plantation,[4] located in Georgetown County, SC. The college depicted briefly in the film is identified in the film as Sarah Lawrence College, but the campus that is seen is actually the College of Charleston.
Release
Box-office performance
The film opened June 25, 2004 in Canada and the United States and grossed $13.5 million in 2,303 theaters its opening weekend, ranking #4 at the box office.[5] The film grossed a total of $115.6 million worldwide, $81 million in Canada and the United States and $34.6 million in other countries.[1]
Critical response
The Notebook received a mixed reaction from critics. The review aggregate at Rotten Tomatoes reported that 52% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 149 reviews.[6] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 53 out of 100, based on 34 reviews.[7] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times praised the film, awarding it with three-and-a-half stars out of four; calling the photography striking in its rich, saturated effects and stating that the actors are blessed by good material.[8] In June 2010, Entertainment Weekly included Allie and Noah in its list of the 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years.[9]
At ABC´s The Greatest Movies of our Time-Show in Category Best Chick Flicks of all time it was voted at first place, even before Dirty Dancing,Pretty Woman and Sleepless in Seattle.

Reconstruction: America After The Civil War | PBS America
The aftermath of the bitterly-fought Civil War was a turning point in the history of the United States. How would the nation tackle the arduous task of remaking itself and healing the scars left by the conflict? It was a time of revolutionary transformation, holding out the promise of genuine social progress as millions of free African Americans sought out their rightful place as equal citizens under the law. Yet, as the historian and activist W.E.B. Du Bois observed, despite a “brief moment in the sun”, the campaign for true equality continued.
Presented by distinguished academic Henry Louis Gates Jr, this absorbing four-part series explains how, despite the odds, African Americans would succeed in achieving political, social and economic progress.

SUMMARY
=======
South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union in December 1860, and was one of the founding member states of the Confederacy in February 1861. The bombardment of the beleaguered U.S. garrison at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861 is generally recognized as the first military engagement of the war.
South Carolina was a source of troops for the Confederate army, and as the war progressed, also for the Union, as thousands of ex-slaves flocked to join the Union. The state also provided uniforms, textiles, food, and war material, as well as trained soldiers and leaders from The Citadel and other military schools. In contrast to most other Confederate states, South Carolina had a well-developed rail network linking all of its major cities without a break of gauge. Relatively free from Union occupation until the very end of the war, South Carolina hosted a number of prisoner of war camps. South Carolina also was the only Confederate state not to harbor pockets of anti-secessionist fervor strong enough to send large amounts of white men to fight for the Union, as every other state in the Confederacy did.
Among the leading generals from the Palmetto State were Wade Hampton III, one of the Confederacy's foremost cavalry commanders, Maxcy Gregg, killed in action at Fredericksburg, Joseph B. Kershaw, whose South Carolina infantry brigade saw some of the hardest fighting of the Army of Northern Virginia and James Longstreet, the senior Lieutenant General in the army, and Stephen D. Lee, the youngest Lieutenant General.
