During the Civil War, it represented the paternalistic and fundamentally benevolent society of the South; however, it came to represent the bigotry of Jim Crow during the segregationist era

So, on the one hand, I'm proud of it Smiley - but I have mixed feelings about it. However, if one thing is for certain, I can't hack GOP politicians making use of it for their political ends- that really sticks in my gullet considering, in my opinion, the Republican Party, to a large extent, was founded as an anti-Southern party
