a very interesting theory from a collectivist point of view. and i have no doubt that there were some on each side who held to those thoughts atttributed to them by the author. but with only Dick's commentary to go on i'd say the evidence falls short of being considered as causation.
This blog is about the Confederate States of America, Confederate descendants, American history and American politics. Everyone who cares about these subjects is welcome here.
We love the Southern Confederacy because it was the nation of our ancestors and is our nation by inheritance. We love the South and the Confederacy for reasons of patriotism, self-identity, reverence for ancestors, and family ties. Likewise, we love the Confederate flag and the song "Dixie" and other icons of Southern heritage for the valor, bravery and family ties that they represent. We do not cherish these icons for any but honorable reasons. We will vigorously defend Southern heritage and history from those who denigrate it.
However, our goal extends beyond defense of past history -- we will also work hard for a new birth of American liberty and prosperity, even if that can only be achieved by a new secession of the states.
Please do not assume that because we link particular organizations, we agree with every one of their positions and comments.
Within these links, do not feel that you must agree with every position that a Southern heritage or political web site holds. Find what you like and can support, and align yourself with those groups that share your values.

Hey, the firing on Fort Sumter by the traitors in South Carolina had nothing to do with it.
