Por supuesto, los buenos sureños no tienen nada que ver con eso, por mucho que el yankee en sus películas los meta a todos en el mismo saco con toda la intención del mundo:

THE SOUTHERN AMERICAN


The Southern American is not a hate/race site...How can truth be either???
Magna est Veritas et Praevalet

This is not a welcome site for "Those People," liberals, anti God, baby killers, South bashers, hate mongers (kkk, naacp, aryan nation...
Este otro artículo (en inglés) trata las profundas relaciones del catolicismo con el Sur Confederado y la importancia de los católicos como militares sureños, así como la influencia católica a lo largo de toda la vida del presidente de la Confederación, Jefferson Davis. Incluso estuvo a punto de abrazar el catolicismo en su niñez.

Even when the leading families of the South were not Catholic — and most were not — they tended to have a high regard and deep respect for the Church and her institutions, especially her schools. It was very common for these families to send their children to them simply because that is where the best education was to be had. An example in this regard is Jefferson Davis himself, the eventual President of the C.S.A. His father sent him as a boy to Kentucky to be schooled by Dominicans.

While among them young Davis — he was but nine — asked to be received into the Church. His desire was not realized. Alas, for what amounts to secondary concerns (family, youth, etc.), the Dominicans did not do as the boy wished and receive him into the Church.
También presenta una sugerente idea: si el Sur hubiera sido mayoritariamente católico quizás hubiese ganado la guerra, lo que a su vez hubiera podido traer unas relaciones con México completamente distintas. Es un buen artículo:
