Dang man! I show do love dat song right dare! Too bad I already be living in da Dixie!
You know what's funny? That song was written by a Northerner sometime in the 1850's talking about circus performers' desire to travel South for the winter and had nothing to do with secession.

Yeah, that and the fact that most of the people who fought for the Confederacy not only owned no slaves but were actually disadvantaged economically due to its persistence...

Heh. I find it more likely that Cornwall will secede from the United Kingdom than the Southern States will secede from the Union...

Seeing as the South pretty much has control of the US govt right now, you're probably right. The west, especially California, however......

The question is not weather the south will secede.
The question is, do the rest of us want them back?

Or you might be able to figure out how some guy who couldn't even escape the law when they tried to nail him to a tree is still worshipped 2 millenia after his body was "misplaced."

So do I! But I'm afraid there won't be the German/European equivalent to a "Second war of Northern agression" around here, so you might as well put them on your next Christmas letters :p
