Perhaps it’s the same war. After all these years the South is still angry about losing the Civil War. Hence the statues honoring insurrection leaders, and waving the flag of the rebellion in the halls of congress. Is it any wonder they back Trump now? I often wonder if what they are so offended by, what makes them violent, is that they simply can’t keep their slaves.

I'd like to think a lot if not most of that has washed out by now. On the side, how many anti-slavery, civil rights movies have i seen that weren't co-financed by the the State of Georgia film bureau, or pretty balanced renditions of the Civil War by eg the Tennessee education dept on streaming.
