The idea that you could culturally remove someones heritage is a very scary concept indeed.<br /><br />But I get the feeling from your writing that it goes further than that, after all blood was spilled in the name of that identity. Like a USA flag on a Confederate grave other ideals seem well out of place.<br /><br />The Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18287941470487969285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479359755882162820.post-66793028169846922162013-01-14T21:50:57.332-06:002013-01-14T21:50:57.332-06:00As an explicit desire...No. Southerners are extrem...As an explicit desire...No. Southerners are extremely and reflexively loyal. This is something that's actually mocked from time to time. My old adviser, and contributor to Hupo, Robert McElvaine wrote an editorial for the New York Times in which he pointed out how ridiculous it was that Southerners would fly U.S. and Confederate battle flags at the same time. <br /><br />If you really began to drill people on the issue...they would be secessionists in all but name.<br /><br />Of course, among some of us (in particular the people addressed by these articles, and there are more of us than is thought) it is not only a popular idea but a sincere desire.<br /><br />There have been petitions that have generated a lot of interest in the idea...it's a start but, it's something that really needs to take hold of the imagination before it can become a political possibility.e.f. bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940814285264472785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479359755882162820.post-4634318086169918612013-01-14T21:19:35.484-06:002013-01-14T21:19:35.484-06:00Is secession actually a popular idea there, and wh...Is secession actually a popular idea there, and what are the avenues that would lead to it?Mistress La Spliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809336191903934481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479359755882162820.post-4187752979734773272013-01-14T17:09:24.485-06:002013-01-14T17:09:24.485-06:00You'll have to tell me about it.
