Imaginary Russians, imaginary Nazis. Liberals have good imaginations.
Unlike the Nazis, the Old South embraced individualists, like Thomas Jefferson; other Faiths, like the Jews it elected to the U.S. Senate; Officers, who designed their own uniforms; even, despite the vicious lies of today, a level of goodwill between the races, which really did not exist in the rest of the Union.
How many of the South haters, today, are even aware that Stonewall Jackson taught a Sunday School class for young Negroes in his neighborhood; that the song "Carry Me Back To Old Virginny," was actually written by a Negro song writer, from New Jersey, celebrating his love for a Virginia girl. (Unfortunately those Virginians who took it down as a State song, in response to an earlier hate driven attack on heritage, didn't know that either.
