Do you have any recommendations for a southern perspective?

No need for anything other than Free Republic. We've hashed out the Civil War; thread after thread year end and year out. Over and over. You'll see the Federal über alles types are all over those War Between The States(WBTS) treads. So are the people that understand that the Constitution's main intent wasn't the Bill Of Rights but in creating a true Republic. A Republic where The many State(s) is/are equal to the Federal with a few exceptions detailed in the USC. Enjoy.

I will be searching, thanks.

After talking to many of the locals here, the CW is not forgotten. Or I'd say, the punitiveness of the federal government afterward. Winning seemed (to me) to give the feds all the power and the states very little.

We have a flag pole at our new house, and a friend asked me what flag we will be putting up. Having just escaped Mexifornia, I was thinking not one from another country, no way! But she was thinking I'd put up a ‘southern’ one, as she put it. A confederate flag, I found out after questioning because she could have mean the Tn state flag. She's 76 and a little spitfire.

Feelings here are running hot, I think, under the politeness of southern charm.
