121. PoliBlog: Why I Care About The Civil War Issue The tide is turning, however, inasmuch as the people who knew people who fought in the civil war are dying off at an ever increasing rate. http://www.poliblogger.com/poliblog/archives/003602.html

Main May 10, 2004 Why I Care About the Civil War Issue Over the weekend I wrote numerous posts on the topic of the Civil War and the issue of slavery (such as here, here , and here ). The question might be: why am I blogging on this topic, of all things (which, as Chris Lawrence rightly notes, has the character of complicating my life)? Well, again, the proximate cause was some of the recent discussion (such as here here and here ) about the Hunley . However, the issue at hand for me is one of how we ought, right now, deal with this portion of our past-especially by those who romanticize the pre-Civil War South. This is something that has been of clear issue to me since I moved to Alabama in 1998. While, as I have noted, I lived most of my life in a former Confederate state, Texas, it wasn't until I moved to Alabama that I began to give all of these issue a great of thoughtsome, but not a lot. Why? Was I less sensitive then? Well, no. More specifically the Civil War and its aftermath are simply not as important to the general psyche of Texans. Indeed, while one does see Confederate Battle Flags on pickup trucks and such in Texas, it is far, far less part of the self-image of the state. It is not a symbol of "our heritage" to Texans. The mythos of Texas is far more grounded in the legends of the Alamo, San Jacinto and the Republic of Texas. From there there is also the general cowboy ethos and the legends of oilmen and ranchers. Who wants to remember the Civil War? However, I noticed once I moved to the Deep South that there was a far greater propensity for the general citizenry to the Battle Flag and the Civil War past of the state to be quite important. In many ways it seems to me that many folks in the Deep South have not yet fully come to terms to with what the war was and what it meant.
