As a North Carolinian, I sympathize but I'm also delighted that some other state is worse than us.

I's really hard to believe people can be this stupid and still survive.  :wall:  :sick: Solitary

What do they mean by "the south will rise again" ?
Do they really believe slavery will make a comeback?

I am curious as to what they mean but I never thought of it as a reference to slavery. I always thought it was just some disgruntled losers running their mouth.

I live in the south. Sometimes I don't even know.

A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

When they say "the South will rise again" they don't mean "and slavery will come back with it."  You're adding that part due to your opinion of the speaker.

It has nothing to do with my opinion of the speakers. The south was defeated over the issue of slavery. What else could they mean by it?

the civil war was over states rights, slavery was a serious issue that really magnified the states rights thing, from what I know, the south thought the north was really bossy and wanted freedom to go about their own way(even though their way is considered wrong)

I thought the south will rise again referred to anarchists (oops)

I sympathize with the "i would rather die than take a hand out" mentality, simply because I can see why people would not give up their pride or honor, Im not like that but I understand others are

Depending on the county, it really isn't that different.

That's all nice and dandy if it's just you, but when you have a wife and children who are suffering because of your pride... that is no different then parent's who refuse medical treatment for their children because of their faith.
