I have come to view the CW much differently than l used to. They had a right to secede. The wickedness of slavery is undeniable but if the southern states wanted to be independent that was their right. The north invaded the south.

Don’t forget that Vicksburg fell on the same day to General Grant. Vicksburg was an important victory for the Union.

Uh, the South opened fire on Ft. Sumter. They opened the ball, so to speak.

Ignore the south bashers

Neocon national review folks saying same thing here for 20 years

Most but not all hate Trump too and don’t see culture as an issue

Demonizing Dixie is their tool to deflect charges of racism against their beloved GOPe

Like mark levin before he realized he was losing his audience in 2015/16

They ape his and Goldberg views on the South

“It’s always those racist white southerners making us look bad”

They wish the Dixiecrats had not gone solid south GOPe after Goldwater and Nixon and ultimately Reagan

Kind of hard to get that genie back in the bottle now especially with this monumental migration of unhappy Yankees flooding the south now

Not this bunch here obviously

Ignore them most are crazy
