I guess, I find it somewhat amusing how much the core South is disliked today. 157 years afterwards.
Funny thing, I do not see that dislike for Spain, Germany, Japan, North Korea or Mideastern terrorists.
But you are hard pressed to find a complementary story in any mainline publication about Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas or the others.
Maybe that is one of the reasons, sons & daughters of the old Confederacy still have fond thoughts of their forebearers.
All of this is because the corrupt Northern power elites who still control Washington DC government today are still trying to justify the horrible evil thing they did in 1861.
All the broadcasting powers and publishing powers are under their control, and just like they are trying to make January 6th into an "insurrection" and a "rebellion", so too do they continue to repeat lies about the causes of the Civil War and their greedy role in it.
There are still constant mocking, ridiculing and condemning of the South because they still need to feel the need to justify the horrible things they did to remained in power all these years.
It will never stop until these corrupt elites are thrown out of power and are therefore unable to censor and suppress the truth.
