Honor is inherent in Southern tradition. Look up the origins of Memorial Day. Southerners offer respect and in some cases admiration for their fallen brothers across these United States.
It seems Southerners have respect for their comrades, but will not tolerate disrespect of their own from others. Why some conservatives attack the South (often here on FR) escapes me.
Because we're the last bastion of accepted bigotry. You'll get fired for making a racist comment such as Sherman or Grant did, however everybody laughs when they make fun of the hick
