In the wake of the crisis that befell our heritage in the past two weeks, we have seen an uprising of Southern Pride, Honor to fallen Confederates, and even feelings of Secession in the South. Many people all over Dixieland were angry and defiant to federal voices telling us that we cannot answer to our heritage the way many feel we have been called to do. However, these feelings of anger have turned to passion, and we have seen Confederate rallies taking place on our Eastern Front. In South Carolina, a group of flag burners were met by 300 Confederate Supporters with flags in hand, and the flag burners were chased off. Parades have been made by people flying the Battle Flag out of their cars, trucks, and vans while going down local highways. A petition to return the Confederate Flag to Alabama's state capital had blown the original petition to remove the flag out of the water.
All over Dixieland, we have heard the sympathetic "Rebel Yell" cascade over recent events and news stories. It seems that these feelings have rallied even the most moderate of Confederates to see the South "Rise Again". Thoughts and feelings of Secession have certainly crossed the minds of many Southerners, and some seem to be in support of the idea. But only time will tell if we see Dixieland truly achieve independence again. In the meantime, we are always trying our best to honor and respect those that fought for their independence the first time.
