From the Founding Fathers to the frontiersmen who tamed the West to the country music, NASCAR, Bible-thumping heart of ‘Red State’ America, the South is the quintessence of what’s original, unique, and most loved about American culture. Yet, thanks to the big-city elites, the South is under attack. The PC establishment is so intent on spreading the myth of the South as prejudiced and ignorant that it even wants to rewrite history.
But author Clint Johnson rises up in fierce resistance to the second war against the South. He reveals that, far from being the backwater of the nation, the South has always been the center of American culture and history, and that the South is truly rising again.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South gives you the facts behind scores of revelations like these:
* How Southerners led the way in drafting the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
* How the Northern victory in the Civil War led to today’s all-powerful federal government.
* Why race relations in today’s South are much better than in the North – or anywhere else in America.
* Why the South is naturally conservative (and the North is naturally liberal).
* How American jazz, blues, and rock and roll all came from the South.
* Why Southerners are overrepresented in the military – and no, it’s not poverty.
* The best American literature? Southern, of course.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South is here to even the score by taking a stand for Dixie, and proving why the South, its traditional values, military service, good manners, and fierce independence will certainly rise again.
