Meet Col Santos Benavides. He was not a WASP, he was not scots-irish. He was not even a slav. He was of spanish-mexican nationality and he was a defender of the Confederacy.
Col Benavides came from the region of the Texas-Mexican border. Born Nov 1, 1823 to a prominent local family in Laredo, Texas.
In 1862 he took a commission as colonel of the 33rd Texas Cavalry Regiment, composed mostly of Spaniards and mexicans.
His most famous engagement came in the Battle of Laredo in March 1864. Here he and 42 of his men faced off with a Union raiding force of over 200 men. The Union had set its eyes on the cotton awaiting export to Mexico. He and his men successfully fought off three Union assaults out numbered 5:1.
After the war he worked as a merchant and rancher and died in 1891.

Interesting points by Tucker. Now the South does have its own identity, built on the foundation of the spilt blood of our forefathers and kept alive through 1.5 centuries of Yankee occupation.

I asked ChatGTP what would be the advantages of the South being Indpendent.
“The South” here would roughly mean the states of the former Confederacy (say, TX, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, SC, NC, TN, AR, plus maybe OK, KY, and VA).
⚙️ 1. Economic Policy Flexibility
Potential advantage:
The South could tailor its tax, trade, and regulatory policies to its economic strengths — energy, agriculture, shipping, and manufacturing.
It might lower corporate taxes, attract foreign investment, and shape trade deals directly with Latin America or Europe via Gulf and Atlantic ports.
With control over energy policy, it could exploit oil, gas, and renewables without federal constraints.
2. Cultural and Political Autonomy
Potential advantage:
An independent South could express a distinct political identity, more aligned with socially conservative and libertarian views common in the region.
It could reform institutions, voting systems, and social policies to fit its regional values without national polarization.
3. Control of Energy and Natural Resources
Potential advantage:
The South has vast energy reserves (Texas oil, Gulf natural gas, solar and wind potential).
As an independent exporter, it could become an “energy nation,” similar to Norway or Saudi Arabia, profiting from global energy markets.
4. Potential for Tailored Economic Development
Potential advantage:
Independence could allow the South to focus on regional infrastructure, agriculture, and tech investment without relying on federal priorities.
The South has a growing tech and logistics sector (Austin, Atlanta, Raleigh, Nashville) that could drive innovation under a unified economic policy.
5. Currency, Trade, and Global Presence
Potential advantage:
A Southern nation could create its own currency or adopt a dollarized system, allowing more flexibility in monetary policy.
Major ports like Houston, New Orleans, and Savannah could boost trade revenue.
6. National Security and Defense Industry
Potential advantage:
The South hosts a large share of U.S. military infrastructure and personnel (e.g., Fort Bragg, Pensacola, Norfolk).
It could theoretically become a strong regional military power.

Been saying this for a long time. There is nothing the corrupt and insane fools in DC offer the South except body bags and wheel chairs for the sons of Dixie. Southern boys form the bulk of the actual combat forces of the US military. Southern boys pay the prices for the plundering of foreign countries that DC insiders and their spoiled pups love so much.
WAKE UP Dixie and throw these bums out on their ear!
