Talk:Confederate States of America (1983: Doomsday)

I understand the purpose of the article, but you dropped the ball with postulating unknown, until now, groups among southern survivors. Even when you tried to present a groups of states' rights activists that attempt to band together, you assign air quotes around the word 'legitimate. 'From the beginning editors have assigned the worst possible motives to any who wish to adopt the name and spirit of the old south.

When the so-called "Civil" war is described the CSA is a "political entity." No, the CSA was a nation, unrecognized by its motherland, even as the original United States were a nation (actually a confederation) that was unrecognized by its motherland. Yes, I speak as a southerner, but the War between the States - there was nothing "civil" about it (even with the bad conotation of a war within a people) - was about states rights and economics. The majority of northerners were just as racist as the slave holders in the south. At the time of the (first) American War for Independence slavery was common on both sides of the Atlantic (abolished in England in 1833).

I suggest that the air quotes be removed, and that the communities in the northern parts of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi actually be given a chance to survive to the present in a possitive light. And don't give the rednecks in northern Florida the short end of the stick either -- them's my kinfolk! If anyone can survive in the swamps and backwoods of the tri-state area, it's them!
