We all know that the South is America’s only natural nation. We have a set of attitudes and a deep-rooted culture that makes a nation. This shows that the term “Southern nationalist” needs to be used carefully. We already ARE a nation. What we want is to make our nation, which already exists, independent.
It is important to us to know that we are the only real nation over here. But it also has enormous implications for non-Southerners. It means that the rest of the United States does not have a real identity of its own.
When I cross the border into Canada, I feel that I am in a land that is still an integral part of Europe. All Canadian political attitudes are purely European. Even the upper house of their legislature is appointed for life!
In Canada, if you have a gun, you go to prison. If you say anything politically incorrect, you can go to jail.
So, what does the rest of the United States use as a substitute for nationality? The founder and first editor of The New Yorker magazine in the 1920s had a sign on his desk that said, in bold letters, “HATE SOUTHERNERS” (James Thurber, The Years With Ross).
If you had asked someone in the 1920s what America was all about, he would say something like “Mom and apple pie.” But now that is unicultural. The only thing you are allowed to say that America is now is the Constitution. When we sit through a list of people on television telling us “I am an American” it is a parade of people who have nothing in common.
So, the United States outside the South is a “nation” of people who have nothing in common.
So today, America is stating flatly what that sign on the editor’s desk said eighty years ago: the only identity the North has is hating the Southern nation. When they get together in what they call a patriotic rally, their theme is “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” which we know as “John Brown’s Body.”
The only basis for American nationhood today is cultural nonexistence and hate. For all their talk about the Constitution, a United States without the South would have exactly the same laws that Canada has today, hate laws and all.
The United States hates the Southern nation and it hates white gentiles. That is its only basis.
That’s not a basis for a union. The North needs to get a life.

This is a gross oversimplification of American history.
It wasn’t only “southerners” who founded colonies here in the 1600’s.
An organic nation did exist then that was not southern, but definitely White and protestant.
It was consumed by the empire before the South was.
The appeal to the constitution is an allusion to what that nation was. It has now been wholly coopted by the Yankee Empire under the occupation of ZOG, as part of a new mythology of liberalism.
Its perfectly proper to recognize the distinctness of the Southern nation. But it doesn’t require the denial of the distinctness of the original colonies to do so.
This is just reductionism.
I do think Dixie is America’s most distinct cultural group, however I also think New England has a distinct culture found no where else on the planet. Midwestern culture while less distinct than New England is another genuine American culture.
“The North needs to get a life.”
They also need to get their own government(s) in Boston, New York and/or Chicago.
“For all their talk about the Constitution, a United States without the South would have exactly the same laws that Canada has today, hate laws and all.”
It also wouldn’t be called “The United States of America® anymore, either.
To Yankees, the Constitution, like the Flag, is just an expedient political prop. They neither understand, nor care for it. It’s just something written by evil Southrons that gets in the way of their various social/political schemes and power grubbing.
Which is why they essentially rewrote it after 1865. And nullified it in the Twentieth Century.
If the North were in danger of loosing their death grip on the Federal Government, every Yankee from Maine to Minnesota, and from New Jersey to Iowa, would suddenly become a staunch supporter of the original Constitution, republican government, true federalism, and of an end to the incorporation clause.
They’d also suddenly discover that they’d always been fans and supporters of states rights.
I used to say that if they really cared about freedom, they’d bomb New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, instead of Iraq and Afghanistan.
