The effort put forth to demoralize Southerners and the traditions of old America comes directly from the desire to eradicate the last vestige of collective defiance to central authority in this, our supposed federal republic.

Today is the 242rd anniversary of the Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina. Here a group of men, predominantly Scots-Irish, but inclusive of English, Scottish, African, and German Americans encircled the Loyalist force encamped there and promptly annihilated it.

@hdmillr Is this the equivalent of the British aristocracy sometimes turning socialist? You have everything in life, so much so, that you have no purpose and you turn on the very system that gave so much to your family & ancestors?

@Partisan_O Almost no one in that area is from that area & many of them hold no reverence to the history of the area, only to money and materialism.

@HawkeyePilot @AaronRHanlon It’s not the case. I’ve lived in the UK off and on for almost 4 year total and I’ve never really run into this. They may take issue with the US gov and that’s fair but I have never seen that directed toward ordinary Americans.

@Sachinettiyil And that's why people rejected Kate Forbes. There is a serious unjustified fear of Christianity that runs throughout the Anglosphere.

@YardleyShooting Sounds like much of America as well. The consumerism is a distraction and it eats away at the soul and culture of individuals, families and communities.

@Partisan_O You are correct. When I lived in western NC I'd drive through eastern TN and WNC, and often thought, much of this looks like rural England. New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah. The only enemy of beauty is [this version of] modernity.

I must admit I am fascinated by the drawings from South Carolina in the late 18, early 19th century attributed to Charles Fraser (1782-1860) that give some picture of live during that period in the Lowcountry.
