Steven Day -- 442d I would also add that The South was not one homogeneous group. You have the Virginia locale (I.e Tidewater), The Deep South, and Appalachia. I would recommend American Nations as another read for anyone interested. replyI would also add that The South was not one homogeneous group.

While Richard M. Weaver is best known for the classic Ideas Have Consequences, the foundation of his career wasthis study of his native South. Calling the Southern tradition "the last non-materialist civilization in theWestern world," he traced its roots to feudalism, chivalry, religiosity, and aristocratic conventions. The OldSouth, he concluded, "may indeed be a hall hung with splendid tapestries in which no one would care to live; butfrom them we can learn something of how to live."Weaver’s exploration of the ideals and ideas of the Southern tradition as expressed in the military histories,autobiographies, diaries, and novels of the era following the Civil War—especially those written by the men andwomen on the losing side—is offered to a new generation of readers for whom that tradition has fallen intodisrepute and who can scarcely imagine a life rooted in nature, the soil, and a powerful sense of honor.The Southern Tradition at Bay is, as Jeffrey Hart noted, the work of a man who admired what "is admirableindeed, and that is the foundation of wisdom and indeed sanity."nostr:note1u8zwtdkanre7w05fnsfwnshpdgxxex8n9wt9x0ddpzejzksvq02syfr8qkhttps://m.primal.net/OXBH.jpg
