bhh, I do apologize if I offended you. My views are sincerely held and I stand by them. You make an interesting point about Dixie, it certainly was quite popular in the Northern states as well as the Southern states. Even so, I would suggest that for the Southerner during the war years the song came to embody a yearning for the antebellum society of the South which was typified by the institution of slavery. I hope that clarifies my thought. And as an aside, I have no dog in the fight over the 1860s definition of “states’ rights.” I had no family in North America during the 1860s and I have either lived in the west or the south my entire life. Best regards, Mark PS. Great post TD
