Even better the common redneck confederate flag is not even accurate, it's the battle flag for the army of northern virginia.

Two years ago I was at Arlington soon after Memorial Day and saw a half-dozen dudes cosplaying as Confederate soldiers next to (no poo poo) the Confederate Memorial.

Yes, there is a memorial in Arlington National Cemetery to people who literally tried to destroy the United States of America.

I went over to see what the gently caress it was about and they told me they have a celebration there every year "on the Sunday closest to Jefferson Davis's birthday!"

I said, "Jefferson Davis?!? You people actually celebrate the birth of that traitor?"

It went over about as well as you'd expect.

sometimes I wish they would just give the union side real ammo for their fake battles.

Re accents: I like some of them. Shelby Foote comes to mind. I could listen to him all day. The patrician Virginia accent is nice too. Some drive me up the loving wall. Tennessee for instance makes me want to drive 10 inch screws through my brain. Oh and the new Orleans accent... gently caress me I'm a horrible person, but thr black New Orleans accent is horrible. When I heard all those man on the street interviews from Katrina I wanted thr whole city to wash away*.

There were a lot of German immigrants to Texas that had a long history of being anti-slavery and they suffered for it during the Civil War. But seriously Texas is east of the continental divide and they were part of the Confederacy. That's a stain that won't ever come out, same goes for the rest of the treason states

Even Sam Houston got kicked out of office for not supporting the treasonous confederates.

I live in Texas and I cant believe people are arguing that it isn't part of the South. Maybe they are confusing Deep South with South.

how is it not like South?
-Kickass bbq
-obsession with independence and macho behavior on the outside
-Breeding swamp of horrible fundies
-solid red state
-supported CSA not union in the civil war
-dress and talk funny
-terrified farm animals
-thinks it's a separate nation despite taking piles of handout money from the federal government
-warrior culture, aka supplies piles of dumb recruits for the military meat grinder

Texas is interesting, move to a area controlled by mexico, whine over things like wanting to own slaves, managed to defeat mexicans during siesta and then get bought out by the USA.
