Things I love about “The South”


We don't ask for forgiveness nor do we ask for quarter from those that would pursue or castigate us for we are born Southern and the honor that is set into our very souls shall not be denied. We don't ask for understanding, we only ask to be left alone.
 
we only ask to be left alone.

The most fundamental and important of all rights. Why despite being a lifelong Yankee and despite everything I was taught in school and despite the issue of slavery, I consider the South to have owned the moral high ground in the Civil War. The war was over the South's attempt to walk away, just as the Colonials did in 1776.
 
My brain always made different associations than most. Think about it, organizations you aren't allowed to quit under penalty of death, or best case, only after a beating by the rest of the gang. The Mafia, the Hells Angels, drug gangs like the Bloods, right?
