It is a politics that harks back to the South’s proud stand in the Civil War as a way of rallying opinion against the federal government

I'm second generation Irish. I always admired the South fighting for freedom from the oppressive federal government. I always viewed the Yankees as the Brits. The guys they threw out.

I’m fourth generation Irish and my people fought for the Union. The South wanted to preserve slavery and fought a war to do so. Just like the Brits who fought wars to enslave people.

"The Mind of the South" by W. J. Cash (died in 1941).

The "South" is an attitude and not a region.
