Southern Wordfilters
Since Southern English is becoming less Southern, and more Northern, I have been thinking of making some wordfilters for the board. These wordfilters would change certain words to their more traditional Southern spellings.
It will be based on this: http://dixienet.org/rights/verbalindependence.shtml
Some wordfilter examples:
won't → wont
color → colour
catalog → catalogue
check → cheque
Mr. → Mr

Since the old Board Owner no longer comes around here and hasn't made an effort to advertise /confederate/, I just thought I'd take ownership of this board and start anew.
This board is for Talking about anything related to the South, whether it be news, politics, food, culture, or nationalism.
Rules:
1.) Don't make off topic threads. Threads must relate to the south in some way.
2.) Do not spam. This includes cross board spam.
3.) Spoiler NSFW content.
4.) Follow the global rule.
If you have a suggestion for the board please post in this thread.
How many people here aren't even Southern and are just Southaboos? Be honest. I get the impression from /pol/ that people fetishize and idealize the southern life.

Lee Circle no more: New Orleans to remove 4 Confederate statues
>Lee Circle will lose the statue of its namesake after the New Orleans City Council voted 6-1 Thursday (Dec. 17) to remove four monuments related to the Confederacy from their prominent perches around the city.
>Besides Gen. Robert E. Lee, statues of Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard at the entrance of City Park and Confederate president Jefferson Davis in Mid-City and the obelisk dedicated to the Battle of Liberty Place at the foot of Iberville Street will all come down.
>The decision did not come lightly after months of public shouting matches, penned op-eds and rhetorical firefights on social media enveloped Landrieu's request in June that the statues be displayed in a museum, mothballed or discarded as vestiges of New Orleans' racist past.
>Councilwoman Stacy Head voted against the removal, saying she thought it would do nothing to break down the social and economic barriers New Orleanians struggle with.
>"I asked for a compromise multiple times," she said. "But that compromise was not given any chance."
>She put it forth again Thursday, proposing an amendment to keep the Lee and Beauregard statues while adding explanatory plaques to them. But the motion failed to get a second.
>In her remarks before the vote, Head asked Landrieu to explain his plans for other monuments, including Gen. Andrew Jackson in the French Quarter, should these four come down.
>Landrieu said he would like to see a commission put together to create a park that commemorates New Orleans' history. He said he decided to choose those four because he felt at this time they had the greatest significance.
>"There is no need to be afraid of anything. I have no question in my mind that the people of New Orleans are up to the task of appropriately commemorating who we are as a people and where we come from." Landrieu said, calling the monuments a "perversion of history."
>The four statues were erected between 1884 and 1915, after Reconstruction and during the era of Jim Crow. While three depict figures deeply influential within the Confederacy, the fourth, the Battle of Liberty Place, honors an 1874 insurrection of mostly Confederate veterans who battled against the city's police and state militia.
Why the fuck couldn't they have just sold the rights to the statues to a private entity like the sons of confederate veterans?

Confederate flag stolen from Del. home; owner called racist
New Castle County police are investigating the theft of a Confederate battle flag from outside a Glasgow home, where the words “[expletive] u racist” were found spray-painted on a boat at the property Wednesday. The case comes amid a turbulent national debate about the use of Confederate imagery and racial tension in the wake of the deadly South Carolina church shooting.
Homeowner Barry Binkley Jr said he flew the rebel flag at his Frazer Road property for more than 15 years and never heard any complaints. He said he isn’t racist and displayed the flag because it is a symbol that ties him to friends and family in the South, including cousins in North Carolina.
The banner was on a flagpole outside the ranch-style home and visible from the street in the semirural neighborhood.
His truck window also was found broken Wednesday.

VA Drivers Refusing to Return Confederate License Plates
Earlier this year, after racist terrorist Dylann Storm Roof was charged with shooting nine black people in a Charleston, South Carolina, church, the media and Democrats across the nation embarked on a crusade to wipe the Confederate flag from society.
One of the crusaders, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, decided to get rid of license plates containing the Confederate flag altogether and informed those with such license plates that they had until October to hand the license plates over to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Those found driving with the plates will be charged with a misdemeanor.
On Friday, local station WAVY reported that the vast majority of citizens with such license plates have refused to comply with the government’s flag-recall notice. The DMV stated that just 187 Virginians had returned their license plates out of 1,600 who had received a recall notice.

Texas’s war on birthright babies
THE 14TH Amendment, ratified in 1868, states plainly that citizenship is automatically conferred on anyone born in the United States. Lately the state of Texas, blinded to the law by its antipathy to illegal immigrants, has determined that it is somehow exempt from that provision of the Constitution.
In an act of stunning official arrogance, the state has been refusing to issue birth certificates to increasing numbers of Texas-born children whose parents are undocumented immigrants. Without birth certificates, the children face barriers to being enrolled in day care and school, receiving Medicaid benefits — even being baptized.
The children, who so far number in the hundreds and possibly the thousands, are U.S. citizens. Yet by refusing to issue them birth certificates, on the pretext that their parents’ documents — including passports and photo IDs issued by Mexican consulates — do not meet the state’s standards, Texas is in effect making them stateless non-persons, devoid of rights and privileges.

Little Rock officials vote to rename Confederate Boulevard
Little Rock planning officials are recommending changing the name of a stretch of road called Confederate Boulevard.
The Little Rock Planning Commission voted Thursday to strip the name from the four-block section and make it an extension of Springer Boulevard. The recommendation came on the 58th anniversary of the day when federal troops arrived to escort nine black students into Central High School.
The original Confederate Boulevard spanned roughly 2.5 miles through a predominantly black section of southeast Little Rock. The span runs past the Little Rock National Cemetery, and the Rev. Horace Springer was one of the area's first black property owners.
Pieces of the road had been renamed over the years. Current property owners gathered signatures to fully strip the name after the summer shooting deaths of nine black church leaders in Charleston, South Carolina. A white man charged in the killings had posted photos of himself posing with a Confederate flag and symbols of white supremacy.
Florida Town Votes to Rename ‘Old Dixie Highway’ to ‘Barack Obama Highway’
The city council of Riviera Beach, Florida voted 4-1 on Wednesday night to rename a stretch of Old Dixie Highway as “Barack Obama Highway.”
The Palm Beach Post notes that “because Old Dixie is a Palm Beach County road, the county would have to approve of the name change.”
“There might soon be a place where Barack Obama and Martin Luther King Jr meet–and it won’t be just in the hearts of Americans who revere both men,” the Post gushes. Presumably it means Barack Obama Highway will intersect Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard somewhere in the town, although they didn’t feel it necessary to explain the obsequious remark further.
“Each member will vote Yay or Nay to rid this city of a street name that still invokes memories of racism and slavery in the Old South,” said Mayor Thomas Masters before the vote, as reported by WPTV News.

Father stunned by fifth grader's homework assignment
A father was troubled by his son’s homework assignment.
“It blowed my mind,” Eric Robinson said of an assignment asking fifth graders to create a wanted poster for a Ku Klux Klan member.
Robinson said the homework was a social studies assignment that his son and others received Wednesday at Clinton Elementary School.
Robinson provided FOX Carolina a copy.
Students were asked to sketch the person, provide three reasons why they’re a “bad guy” and a “quote from a person living at the time showing what people might have said about this person,” along with a reward amount.
“It’s okay to teach kids about hate groups… But to me she went too far with it,” Robinson said.
Laurens County School Superintendent David O’Shields said the assignment is a state requirement intended to teach students that the KKK was a criminal/terrorist organization that murdered people, participated in voter suppression and used violence to intimidate African Americans.

Ken Burns sets Confederate flag lovers straight: It’s about ‘slavery slavery slavery’
Historian Ken Burns reminded supporters of the Confederacy on Sunday that the Civil War had been primarily about slavery, and not states’ rights as many conservatives have claimed.
“You know, when the Constitutional Convention happened, there was a man named John J. Chapman, who said slavery was like a sleeping serpent,” Burns told CBS host John Dickerson. “It lay coiled under the table during the deliberations; thereafter, slavery was on everyone’s mind, if not always on his tongue.”
“You know, we’ve grown up as country with a lot of powerful symbols of the Civil War in popular culture that would be ‘Birth of a Nation,’ D.W. Griffiths’ classic, and ‘Gone with the Wind,’ of course,” he explained. “And in that, it postulates, among other things, both films, that the Ku Klux Klan, which is a homegrown terrorist organization, was actually a heroic force in the story of the Civil War. So it’s no wonder that Americans have permitted themselves to be sold a bill of goods about what happened, oh, it’s about states’ rights, it’s about nullification, it’s about differences between cultural and political and economic forces that shaped the North and the South.”
But Burns recommended that Americans read South Carolina’s Articles of Secession to get the real story on why the states went to war against each other.
“[T]hey do not mention states’ rights. They mention slavery, slavery, slavery,” he pointed out. “And that we have to remember. It is much more complicated than that, but essentially the reason why we murdered each other — more than 2 percent of our population, 750,000 Americans died; that’s more than all the wars from the Revolution through Afghanistan combined — was over essentially the issue of slavery.”
According to Burns, the racism running through the DNA of America was still present in modern day politics.
Alabama cheerleading coach banned for complaining about pro-KKK t-shirt
An Alabama woman claims that she’s no longer allowed to be a volunteer cheerleading coach after she complained about the racist shirts being worn by the team’s assistant vice president, Brian McCracken, and his friend, Brian McDowell, WAFF’s Lauren Bale reports.
Former volunteer cheerleading coach Kayleigh Tipton said that she arrived at a practice of the Boaz youth cheerleaders only to find McCracken and McDowell sporting the racist t-shirts.
The team’s assistant vice president, McCracken, was wearing one that featured a robed member of the Ku Klux Klan in front of a burning cross, accompanied by the words “The Original Boys In The Hood.” His friend McDowell’s t-shirt was more direct — it read “White Pride.”
Tipton said she contacted Commissioner Kenny Jones, who said he “ended up taking care of the situation” by informing “the parents that they are no longer allowed to wear that type of shirt to any NAYF function.”
“We have zero tolerance for any kind of discriminatory apparel or anything,” Jones added.
A Multicultural South

Southrons (including afro-dixie subculture) are the obvious majority but their are minority culture such as Cajuns, creoles, Gullah, and Cherokee. What about them? should they be given semi autonomous territories? Or should a monolithic southern culture be pushed for to ensure unity (what the yanks do to us)?
Hey /confederate/, Texas has had growing talks of secession. This has made me wonder something
Should the original Confederate states gain the ability to secede, would it be more beneficial for them to remain completely independent states, or should they form up to make a Confederate union together?
Should they form the Confederacy again, how do we ensure the mistakes of the past wouldn't be repeated, only with a smaller USA?

Hate group Council of Conservative Citizens conference in Nashville cancelled
Just two days before the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC) was scheduled to hold its annual gathering at the Guesthouse Inn in Nashville, Tenn., the conference was cancelled.
According to a Facebook post by Renee Griffin, daughter of the CCC’s late CEO and founder Gordon Baum, the hotel was receiving threats and protesters were showing up after Hatewatch reported on the event earlier this week. “So the hotel caved and cancelled us last minute,” Griffin said in the Facebook post. “This is very upsetting because it was the conference to discuss our future.” Griffin is married to Brad Griffin, who sits on the CCC’s board and is the founder of the white nationalist site Occidental Dissent.

White school board crowd boos NAACP, call blacks ‘racist’ over objection to ‘Dixie’ fight song
Members of the NAACP were booed and called “racist” by white residents on Tuesday as they tried to make their case for removing Confederate symbols at Effingham County High School in Georgia.
According the WTOC, over 500 people showed up at the Effingham County High School Board meeting on Tuesday to debate whether the school should stop using a Confederate soldier mascot and the pro-slavery anthem “Dixie” as a fight song.
“We have come to make a petition to right the wrong that should have been corrected 60 years ago,” Effingham NAACP President Leroy Lloyd announced in front of the rowdy crowd.
Also speaking on behalf of the NAACP, First Union Baptist Church Pastor Franklin Blanks, Jr asked the school board to respect all citizens.
“We asked that you discontinue the use of Dixie as a school fight song,” Blanks said, sending the crowd into an uproar.
“You try to erase my heritage, you try to erase anything that you think is racist,” one supporter of the Confederate symbols told Blanks. “But the whole time you were over here, sir, I apologize, but everything you said was racist.”
That sentiment earned a standing ovation from the mostly-white audience.
GA Business Replaces Confederate Flag with Nazi Flag to Spark ‘Discussion’
The owner of a Macon, Georgia, business said that he wanted to start a “community conversation” by flying first the Confederate and then a Nazi war flag in front of his business to show that they were “just” flags.
Last week, Anthony Harris, owner of an art store called SEVEN on Second, hung the Confederate flag in front of his store but, this week, replaced it with the Nazi Naval flag, the Kriegsmarine. For a time, he also flew a flag featuring the Celtic Cross that had been co-opted by skinheads.
Harris told the local TV news that he wanted to start a conversation in the city.
“I just want people to realize that it’s a flag. Don’t get so much in an uproar about it; it’s good to have a conversation about it; it’s good to address it, but there’s no need to want to kill someone over it,” Harris said.
On his Facebook page, Harris tried to further explain what he meant to do:
THIS WEEK’S FLAG: The Kriegsmarine, or Nazi Germany Naval flag. I do expect this flag to cause an uproar. If you are one of them there that feels the need to vent your anger keep in mind that the swastika was originally a Hindu symbol that meant “Good luck”. Hitler stole it. Just as a bunch or redneck racists stole the Confederate flag. Also, keep in mind that my Grandfather, Walter Meyer, fought for and died under the German regime in World War II. If you can honor your dead relatives that were veterans, I can honor mine. But most of all, remember that it is just a flag. So quit stressing yourself out. Have a great week.

So i was born in new orleans and although ive spent alot of my life up north in chicago, I've always thought the confederacy being its own country was better for the nations since it follows self determination and the right to seccession was a guaranteed right until lincoln. And i admire southerners still willing to stand up to the feds, although i have no intent of moving since i prefer colder weather, but i still wish to help you rebels get your freedom, and more or less I'd like to know what me and other yankeess can do to help.
Hillary Clinton Put on Southern Accent for South Carolina Democratic Chairman
I used to be Anti-Confederate, until I realized something…
The Civil War was not about workers, but about State's Rights.
That alone may not have been enough, however I also realized another fact…
People who say the confederate flag represents slavery is dead wrong. And if that's true, then shouldn't the American flag represent:
Killing Afghan civilians
Killing innocent Japanese immigrants (putting them in camps)
Nuclear bombing Japan
Killing Vietnamese civilians
Killing Korean civilians
ALSO slavery
Corporations controlling our government.
If the Confederates won the civil war, it might be Socialist or even Communist. The only downside to Confederates winning the civil war, is it would've postponed the banning of slavery and women's rights.

Can Kentucky be part of you guys? Louisville and Greater Cincinnati excluded, of course. Us mountain people would much rather be part of West Virginia or Virginia than to be part of Kentucky which is mostly plains to the west. No matter the geography though, the southern part of the state is sick and tired of federalism fucking our shit up like our coal mines, our source of income and just ignoring us for the fact that we're in between hollows and valleys.

In case there are any other Floridanons here, there is a planned rally to remove the Confederate soldier monument at the corner of University and Main in Gainesville.

If you're in the area, feel free to join the counter-rallies at 5:30 pm today. If you want to help but are not in the area, please feel free to sign the petition. At the time of posting this, the anti-monument petition only received 48 signings, while our petition has 938.

Who Should Be Allowed To Vote?
So there seems to be a mild divide among the more racist and the more culturally-inclined Dixies here.
Since it's obvious that a Dixie government would require either a direct democracy (disgusting) or a Constitutional Republic, how should we go about handling voting, /confederate/?
I'm thinking that only those who play a role in the well-being of the nation through either the economy or military should be allowed to vote. This would prevent many of the modern issues of voting caused by those who have no stake in the nation (pic related). Wars are only caused by men who have to fight them when they are absolutely needed. Wars are mainly caused by women and old wankers living off welfare (both of whom will never fight them) for a reason. Same with Aggressive Imperialism (versus free trade) to a large extent.
IMO, to vote you must meet one of the below requirements:
1) Own a Business (plus five years if it closes down)
2) Own Property (same parameter as #1)
3) Serve Active Duty for four years during peace time w/wartime active duty counting as double (Permanent)
4) Serve in the Reserves for six years (Permanent)
5) Procure a Doctorate (Masters and Bachelors need not apply)
6) Graduate from College (applicable for up to a year after graduating since it's assumed you'll be attempting 1, 2, or 3)
7) Obtain a NEV (Non-Economic Voting License)
NEVs would be extremely limited (maybe 10k per year) and would be for priests, non-profit organizations, etc. Things that contribute but don't necessarily qualify as a business or property.
Public Servants (E.G. Government Officials) would be barred from voting on referendums, offices, etc. Except in the case of voting for the Senate if we're a Constitutional Republic.
I'd also suggest that the Supreme Court either be abolished, multilayered (E.G. two or three Supreme Courts each elected/formed differently, and of whom have equal weight to prevent corruption), or at the very least have term limits in such a way as to not come into office until the former president leaves, thus ensuring the previous president's Supreme Court would rule during the new president, lessening corruption possibilities.

>~45.5% of blacks own homes (keep in mind a large portion of the Southern population is black, and only about 2 million blacks own businesses)

Goddamn
The House has voted to ban the display of Confederate flags at historic federal cemeteries in the deep South — a low-profile move that prompted an outcry from supporters of the flag.
them there supporters, including some Southern conservatives, were taken by surprise by the vote and the bill's chief sponsor Wednesday night called for a revote on Thursday in which members would go on record on the display of the flag.
The vote to ban the display of the flag at the cemeteries came Tuesday evening after a brief debate on a measure funding the National Park Service, which maintains 14 national cemeteries, most of which contain graves of Civil War soldiers.
The proposal by Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., added language to block the Park Service from allowing private groups to decorate the graves of Southern soldiers with Confederate flags in states that commemorate Confederate Memorial Day. The cemeteries affected are the Andersonville and Vicksburg cemeteries in Georgia and Mississippi.
"The American Civil War was fought, in Abraham Lincoln's words, to 'save the last best hope of Earth,'" Huffman said in a debate in which he was the only speaker. "We can honor that history without celebrating the Confederate flag and all of the dreadful things that it symbolizes."
The flag ban was adopted by a voice vote. The Park Service funding bill is scheduled for a vote on Thursday.
One lawmaker who protested the move was Rep. Steve Palazzo, R-Miss.
"I strongly oppose the inclusion of this amendment, which was slipped into the bill in the dead of night with no debate," he said in a statement. "Congress cannot simply rewrite history and strip the Confederate flag from existence. Members of Congress from New York and California cannot wipe away 150 years of Southern history with sleight-of-hand tactics."
Palazzo said he would fight to make sure "the language is not included in any bill signed into law."
Pressure has mounted to ban display of the flag on state and federal property in the wake of last month's tragic murders at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina. The accused killer, Dylann Roof, posed with the Confederate flag in online photos and reportedly has told authorities that he wanted to start a race war.
Following the lead of GOP Gov. Nikki Haley, the South Carolina Senate has voted to remove the flag from the Capitol grounds and the state House was taking up the measure Wednesday.
But House leaders have deferred action on a plan by Bennie Thompson, a black Democrat from Mississippi, to ban Confederate images such as that contained in the Mississippi flag from being displayed in the House complex. Numerous statues of Confederate figures such as Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States, are also on display in the Capitol.

>"Every year the Fourth of July is marked by ringing affirmations of American exceptionalism. We are a special nation, uniquely founded on high ideals like freedom and equality. In practice, however, much of what sets the United States apart from other countries today is actually Southern exceptionalism."
>"I don’t mean this in a good way. A lot of the traits that make the United States exceptional these days are undesirable, like higher violence and less social mobility. Many of these differences can be attributed largely to the South."
>"As we learned after the slaughter last month in Charleston, S.C., some deluded Southerners still pine for secession from the Union. Yet no doubt there are also more than a few liberal Northerners who would be happy to see them go."
>"As a fifth-generation Texan, and a descendant of Southerners back to the 1600s, I don’t want to encourage lurid stereotypes of a monolithic South. The states of the former Confederacy include ethnic minorities like Louisiana Cajuns and Texas Germans, along with African Americans. And the dominant conservatives in the South have always been challenged from within the ranks of the white community by populists, liberals and radicals."
>"Britain peacefully abolished slavery within its empire in the 1830s; thanks to Southern opposition, the U.S. did so only as the result of the catastrophic Civil War. And thanks to mid-century Southern members of Congress, welfare-state policies from home ownership to Social Security were designed to reinforce segregation or exclude the disproportionately-Southern black and white poor. Not until the 1960s, with the help of federal military intervention in Southern states, was the right of African-Americans to vote secured. And today white Southern Republicans are at the forefront of efforts to roll back the voting rights revolution by making voter registration more difficult."

just gunna dip in my can of grizzly and fap at the sight of a double barrel.
So /Confederate/ I have a question for everyone. I am a Honduran/Cuban immigrant who grew up in glorious VA and truly love the culture and country lifestyle. Now I see a lot of threads having no problem with American born people but how do you all feel about immigrants like myself? Are we to be treated differently?

State's Rights
I know we talk about State's Rights a lot, but how do you actually envision it functioning in the neo-/confederacy/? What are the roles of the Federal and the State governments? I imagine everyone has a different view of how State's rights should be implemented.
Let's do a roll call, what Southern State are you? Yankees need not apply.
North/South Carolina representing.
Rise Again, but Not in the Same Direction
If a second attempt is to be made at secession, it is important to keep in mind the factors which led to the failure of the first.
It is of utmost importance that the Second Confederacy reach out beyond its historical borders for allies. States north of the Mason-Dixon Line must be courted away from the federal government.
Additionally, the large black population must be placated to prevent them from being radicalized by federal forces. To this end, it is imperative that the conflict not be framed in terms of race. It must, at its core and in the eyes of onlookers around the world, be a conflict over government abuses.
It is not enough to simply fight the good fight; taking part in secession is taking part in geopolitics, and it must be treated with the same level of Machiavellian scheming as any other move on the Grand Chessboard. If you would secede you must be willing to adopt or abandon tactics at a moment's notice. You must be willing to court strange allies with whom you would never have broken bread with the day before. You must deny your enemy every advantage they might have against you.
I encourage you all to use this thread to discuss threats the secession movement faces, and to provide implementable tactics to diminish or resolve these threats. Pic extremely related.
What does it mean to be Confederate?
>Texan
>my ancestors fought for the Union, all from Illinois
>I don't feel much pull to Dixie, I care more about Texas than the rest of the South
>I want Texan secession but the Eastern South can go hang for all I care
>The Republic of Texas which includes New Mexico, North Mexico, Arizona, and North Cali is more ideal to me than resurrected Dixie since yall have so many niggers
>not a spic I sware

NEW PRO DIXIE RALLY IN VA
I have an article over here at the site but this is a pro South anti flag banning etc, in Stafford County, VA. We have been updating them as we learn of them, some are run by SCV, DCV, OR LOS or a combination or even spontaneous.
Please try to make it if you are anywhere near the area! This past weekend was great with thousands protesting across the South against our ethnic genocide.

Dixieland Organization
Well faggots, it's time to get organized.
This is a thread designated to organize militias and meet ups for Dixie.
Also, for general /k/ like discussion on what guns to get, how to survive innawoods/innaswamps/innadeserts, and what to do when SHTF.
Hopefully I could get a sticky for this thread.
Destruction of Infrastructure
So there's one thing that continuously bothers me.
Lincoln flat out said himself "without the South, who would pay for the government?"
But then he proceeded to destroy infrastructure and encourage it via shit like Sherman's March, not to mention the half-assed attempt to "reconstruct" the South after the war.
What the fuck was going through his head? Destroying the South's infrastructure to the extent he did makes absolutely no sense when compared to the revenue losses that it caused.
This is the US now.
How anyone can feel anything but hatred for this damned Sodom I cannot understand.

I've never been a fan of yankees but dixie somehow always seemed decent to me.
Could you point out the differences between the South and the rest of the U.S. please?
Thanks in advance.

Camp Douglas: The First Modern Extermination Camp
Nearly 100 years before the concentration camps of Germany and Poland, the Unionists had their own extermination camp in Chicago.http://joewheeler863scv.tripod.com/80%20Acres%20of%20Hell%20-%20Camp%20Douglas.htm
The Unionists have whitewashed it from history, allowing the land to be commercially developed in an attempt to hide egregious war crimes against Southern Patriots fighting the waves of Lincolnite tyranny.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzCS5PPgfiI
The entire movie is available on DVD. It's not one that is aired on TV often because it makes the Yankees look bad.
Educate yourselves. I write my congressmen at least once a year pushing for legislative action for a formal apology of the camp and to have some kind of monument and museum erected at the cost of the Chicago taxpayers whose ancestors not only condoned the existence of the camp, but some even paid money to throw rotten food and other objects at the prisoners of war.
One last fun fact: any soldiers that stayed loyal to the cause were forced to walk home at the end of the war. They were not compensated. These men were malnourished but told to fuck off and waved away.
At Camp Sumter, we did all but beg for prisoner swaps. We offered to release them if the Unionists would send ships to pick them up. On the other hand, those at Douglas who stayed loyal to the Southern cause had to walk home after the war. They were not compensated or assisted in any way. Just a wave of the hand and a fuck you.
>In This Board: Inbread hicks complaining about a fucking flag of the past
Your confederate pride is bullshit. The whole reason for the succession from the United States was because of racism. That's what the confederacy was about. Fuck this "It was about self government and freedom" bullshit. A whole group of people were denied freedom, and to say that's what the Confederacy was about is bullshit.
I couldn't care less about what flag you flay. I just hate the stupidity spewed
I'd also like to remind you that when you become apart of the U.S., you can't secede. It's permanent.
What states do you thibk define the South, /confederate/?
Personally I'd want to see the USA split into minimum three, maximum five countries (Canada split between labrador and the rest of it).
Minimum Setup:
NorthEastern Territories; Border being Illinois, Minnesota, and Virginia
Midlands: Southern borders being the gulf, Texas, and Oregon
Commiefornia: California, Nevada, maybe southern Arizona.
Alaska part of midlands, Hawaii an autonomous region
Ideally
NorthEastern; largely the same
South (border at Utah and Idaho)
Cascadia/NWF (West coast through Alaska)
Southern California either on its own or part of Mexico
Anything above New York seceded to Canada or function Autonomously.
Get fucked, faggots.
God bless you
Missouri is a confederate state and i will not discuss the issue further
Why aren't we tearing shit up? This is IngSoc tier.
A couple questions.
1. At the time of its inception, the constitution of the CSA was nearly a carbon copy of that of the USA. Given that there's 150 years difference, would this still be the case, and if not, what would be so different about a Southern philosophy on the matter?
2. Many accuse Southern irredentist movements of being racist, if not racially motivated. What do you have to say to this, and what would the policies be regarding race? I've noticed that the League of the South tends to take some pretty /pol/-like views on things.
3. With the massive influx of Northerners, especially to Florida, how would that be handled? Would they be given citizenship? Allowed to leave for the US?
Republic forever
Texas nationalist here (for succession) . Convince me that Dixie would be a good Idea, because as I see it, forming a union with the rest of the south would be a huge drain to our economy due to mass poverty. Tell me, why does Texas need you? I'm not trying to insult y'all, but ours alone is the 15th largest economy in the world while Mississippi is the poorest in the nation. Now, convince me on why we would be interested in anything close to the confederacy.

Jim Webb: Confederate flag 'wrongly' used as racist symbol
By Dan Merica, CNN
Updated 3:40 PM ET, Wed June 24, 2015
| Video Source: CNN
(CNN)Democrat Jim Webb said Wednesday the Confederate flag has "wrongly" been used for racist purposes in recent decades, but did not comment on whether or not the flag should be removed from places like the capitol grounds in South Carolina.
Webb, who is a descendent of Confederate soldiers, broke with what other Democrats vying for their party's presidential nomination have said about the recent groundswell of opposition to the flag.
The Southern Democrat and veteran posted a statement on Facebook that cautioned against jumping to conclusion on the flag.
"We all need to think through these issues with a care that recognizes the need for change but also respects the complicated history of the Civil War," he wrote. "The Confederate Battle Flag has wrongly been used for racist and other purposes in recent decades. It should not be used in any way as a political symbol that divides us."
Last week's massacre of nine African-American parishioners at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, kicked off a conversation about the Confederate flag; the 21-year-old white perpetrator posted several photos on social media featuring it.
As a result, Southern states across the country – including South Carolina, Mississippi and Alabama – have begun the process of removing such flags from state property.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders have all said the flag needs to come down in South Carolina and across the country.
But Webb's statement marks a different tone.
"This is a time for us to come together, and to recognize once more that our complex multicultural society is founded on the principle of mutual respect," Webb said.
The statement does not mention what Webb thinks should be done in South Carolina or the fact that companies like Walmart, eBay and Amazon have decided to stop selling merchandise featuring the flag.
Craig Crawford, Webb's spokesman, did not respond to follow up questions on whether Webb believes the flag should be removed from the South Carolina statehouse.
Webb is a dark horse in the race for the Democratic nomination. Though he has yet to formally announce his candidacy, he has formed an exploratory committee and would seek to represent a moderate wing of the party – on of questionable size and influence given the rise of progressive Democrats.
The former Virginia senator has long been a historian of the Civil War, and in particular the Confederacy. He wrote in his 2004 memoir, "Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America," that "revisionist politicians and academics to defame the entire Confederate Army in a move that can only be termed the Nazification of the Confederacy."
"Often cloaked in that argument over the public display of the Confederate battle flag, the syllogism goes something like this: Slavey was evil. The soldiers of the Confederacy fought for a system that wished to preserve it," he wrote. "Therefore they were evil as well, and any attempt to honor their service is a veiled effort to glorify the cause of slavery. This blatant use of the 'race card' in order to inflame their political and academic constituencies is a tired, seemingly endless game that is itself perhaps the greatest legacy of the Civil War."
It was within the constitutional right of the confederacy to succeed from the united states if it desired to, reason is irrelevant.
They were constitutionally in the right.
The only thing shill posters are proving liberals are extremely intolerant to foreign concepts. They preach tolerance but do not practice it themselves.
What the confederacy means to them is not what it means to everyone else's. And this drives them fucking mad.

Get in here glorious Confederate Warriors
Blacks are as much the South as Whites
Reminder: If the south were to rise again it would have to be in unison of all races banned together under one culture and heritage. Not everyone who reps the flags of the confederacy are white supremacists.
I'm not a violent man by nature friends.however with this assault on our history, culture, and people I feel the need to recommend you form or join some form of militia in the event of bloodshed.
I do not wish for violence and hope for peace on this matter but I feel we are being forced into this.
May God be with us
Books
What are /confederate/'s recommended reading for the South?
‘Gone with the Wind’ should go the way of the Confederate flag
>If the Confederate flag is finally going to be consigned to museums as an ugly symbol of racism, what about the beloved film offering the most iconic glimpse of that flag in American culture?
>The more subtle racism of “Gone with the Wind’’ is in some ways more insidious, going to great lengths to enshrine the myth that the Civil War wasn’t fought over slavery — an institution the film unabashedly romanticizes.
>Based on a best seller by die-hard Southerner Margaret Mitchell, “Gone with the Wind’’ buys heavily into the idea that the Civil War was a noble lost cause and casts Yankees and Yankee sympathizers as the villains, both during the war and during Reconstruction.
>But what does it say about us as a nation if we continue to embrace a movie that, in the final analysis, stands for many of the same things as the Confederate flag that flutters so dramatically over the dead and wounded soldiers at the Atlanta train station just before the “GWTW’’ intermission?
>Warner Bros. just stopped licensing another of pop culture’s most visible uses of the Confederate flag — toy replicas of the General Lee, an orange Dodge Charger from “The Dukes of Hazzard’’ — as retailers like Amazon and Walmart have finally backed away from selling merchandise with that racist symbol.
>That studio sent “Gone with the Wind’’ back into theaters for its 75th anniversary in partnership with its sister company Turner Classic Movies in 2014, but I have a feeling the movie’s days as a cash cow are numbered. It’s showing on July 4 at the Museum of Modern Art as part of the museum’s salute to the 100th anniversary of Technicolor — and maybe that’s where this much-loved but undeniably racist artifact really belongs.
I fucking mad.
Which southern politician would make a good president for the Neo-Confederacy?
Hello gentlemen, my relative beat you at ghettysburg, and did great things with his life, despite his victory and sacrifice I still don't believe in censorship. The Confederate flag is a reminder that brothers fought and died in a senseless war, and people who would attempt to disgrace our ancestors do not deserve power.
Give me a good reason why Texas should join the south in succession instead of just forming its own country.
Im not even from the south but i hope a confederacy rises! Best system of government possible.
Does this board include Maryland and Delaware in the South, like the U.S census? I don't usually think of these two states when I think of the south.

Constitution of the Confederacy
All right, I have high hopes for this board. Hopefully it won't die and fade into the realms of obscurity.I was thinking that we should make a constitution for the theoretical nation that would be created if the southern states would secede. In the thread we would decide the rights of the people and the states, as well as what powers/laws the government should have. Every week I will write up a new constitution and we can vote on if it is satisfactory or if it needs changes and continue to discuss it, but only if there is enough input and support for it. We can also discuss minor details like what the new Confederacy would be called. I hope this can be something fun this board can do and won't just die as soon as I post this.

Symbolism
Unfortunately after 150 years of yankee cultural erosion, the battle flags are seen as relics from a worse time. I'm of the mind that we need new signs to rally people behind. There's a very real problem where people see Southern separatism as a backward concept, and using defunct flags doesn't help it. As much as I love the Confederate flag, it doesn't do much good among the colored community either.
