Do you mean Sieg Heil (success and health), the Nazi slogan? What does that have to do with the War for Southern Independence?

the War for Southern Independence?

I'd call it the war for idiot white men to keep black slaves. War for Souther IGNORANCE, also works for me.

Sieg Heil = Success and Health ?

Sorry - got to correct you there - the way you put it,it sounds like 'live long and prosper'.

Heil is 'greetings' as in hailing. That was nicked by the roman greating (raised right arm to salute ranking officers and the caesar)and 'Sieg' ist not success but victory. The procedure was a strong reminder on the millenial roman world empire.

So the slogan Sieg Heil was a motivation and propaganda phrase to make people enthusiastic for the 'conquer the world' project AH was trying to conduct.
