How a Southerner views the Civil war as a defeat and not the way the rest of the world sees it as the thing that truly made us the United States of America, besides losing loved ones in battle, Life for a person in the north didn't change much, the same could not be said for the south. William Falkner's ' The Sound and the Fury ' is a novel he used to describe the despair and loss of identity, along with the haunting regret of defeat. That's how Kkkarl & ShrubCo won, blaming Liberals for our nation being eroded by acceptance of Multi-racial , sexual , religious life styles , making it patriotic to be a racist, homophobic Fundie, who sucks up to the wealthy while looking down on the poor, and then bitch's about the extinction of the middle class. I don't know if that's elaborate enough ,but one more. I live in upstate NY , now if I see a person with Alabama license plates and also has a Confederate flag of some form somewhere on his car I figure he's proud of the south, If I see that same flag on a car from NY, I instantly figure he's a racist and anyone from my hometown that does I know they ARE. So what I mean is proximity to the south has nothing to do with Antebellum as it is not an era or area but a mental disease.
