The south has a romantic view of itself before and after the civil war along with victim complex.

Yes, a victim complex you southern whiners complain that you were the victims of northern aggression while forgetting you all shoot the first shot and that you all chose the gun over dialogue.

Yes. you have this romantic belief you were fighting for some noble cause like states rights and some fantasy you all call a way of life.

In truth you all were not fighting for some noble cause but for an elite oligarchy who's wealth was form the inhumanity of slavery, for state wrongs and for a way of life based on the inhumanity of slavery,

The south's romantic view of itself is a fantasy one conjured up by the reactionaries in the south and the southerns bought into it along with southern historians.

The tragedy is many southerns today buy into this romantic fantasy of the old south instead of the truth.

You forgot the part about the Confederate Army was the world's first integrated army and that blacks made a significant contribution to the Confederate Armies manpower. You also forgot that slaves were happy as pigs in slop and it was the total fault of African warlords and the dam Yankees for the slave trade.

True...

I believe these two fantasies are resent add-ons to the old Lost Cause mythology...

If we stipulate the 1970s as relatively new. A newer fantasy is that Reconstruction blacks and whites worked hand in glove to rebuild the South.
