I have a lot of respect for Haley Barbour, and I think that the south has a great deal of good characteristics that no other place in the United States knows about, and should know about.

That being said, as a Louisiana and Texas southerner, I will never be proud of what my ancestors did in the 1860s, nor what the democrats did to the blacks in the South with slavery, the KKK, and every other attempt to keep blacks from participating in our society.

Relish our southern heritage with its great characteristics, but do not celebrate some misguided leaders and followers who attacked the United States.

They only attacked what was marching through their front yards with bayonets fixed in their direction. Any sane person would have done the same.
