  43. Ep. 9: That This Nation May Endure--The Need for Political Regionalism

    Donald Davidson's essay "That This Nation May Endure--The Need for Political Regionalism" in the 1936 book, "Who Owns America" is a stark reminder that the issues Americans face today are not new. Centralization and "New England imperialism" have long been a problem for the majority of Americans....

  44. Ep. 8: Remembering "Stonewall"

    In 1895, "Stonewall" Jackson's widow, Mary Anna Jackson, penned her "Memoirs of Stonewall Jackson" as a tribute her her late husband.

  45. Ep. 7: The Southern Tradition at Bay

  46. Ep. 6: The Meaning of Confederate Monuments

  48. Ep. 3: Carolina! Carolina!

    Music and poetry have long been indicators of a robust culture and tradition. The South excelled at both. Henry Timrod's "Carolina!" served as the basis of the South Carolina State song, ad it is a fine example of Southern tradition, honor, and heroism....

  49. Ep. 2: Jefferson Davis's Farewell Address

    Even just a few years ago, Jefferson Davis's January 1861 Farewell Address to the United States Senate was considered to be one of the most important speeches in United States history.
