We in the South knew it all along. :D
Thank You!
Agreed!
American by birth, Southern by the grace of God...........
I hope your post doesn’t touch off the usual venom and dismissal of the Confederacy as a slavers’ rebellion. The Kennedy brothers’ book was the impetus (c.1992)to my research and embrace of my Southern heritage. Joined the Sons of Confederate Veterans in 1997. I moved from Connecticut to SC in ‘06..it’s not perfect, but what a difference. I’m happy to be in a place ( a small town) where people earnestly ask for God’s blessing on each other constantly.
Once the southern states participated in the election of 1860 [and didn’t secede before that election], they were bound by its result, whether they liked it or not.
Current 2010 census results and future projections for the electoral college: Lookin good for the south and bad for the Northeast and rust belt.
Would love to see 2020 and what happens to the West Coast.

Yep
Mark goes into that in the first few paragraphs.
"….I have always believed, that the great popular heart is not now, and never has been in this war. It was a revolution of the Politicians; not the People."

Of course we were right. And we still are.

Lincoln and the progressives were wrong!
Duh.
Kind of like saying the Nazi's were alright except for that holocaust thing.
“nuff said!
Sighhh, the people from the NE part of the US are bringing their particular kind of “religion” to the South. It is what I want to kick back up there and not allow it to propagate. North, I don’t want your secularism or your Unitarian-Universalism here. And, I don’t want your particular kind of brainwashing liberalism here either. We have lost some of our religious colleges and universities to those stinking way of thinking. Now get thee back to your hole where you belong!
The South: Democratic Party, slavery, KKK, anti-semitic Jew-haters, etc.
The North: Republican Party, abotlitionists, Robber Barons, big business, anti-Irish, etc.
Everyone else west of the Rocky Mountains: glad they do not live in the east!
