We certainly cannot have any further political connection with the Whigs of the South; they have rendered such connection impossible. An impassable gulf separates us, and must here-after separate us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Republican party is not inflamed, as some would fain have the country believe, against the South. Its borders are wide enough for all truly loyal men to find within them peace and repose from the din and discord of angry faction.
The thing about the South is we accept our history. We don't push it under the rug.
While I've said that there are plenty of things I dislike about the South, I can be clear that there are things I love about the South.
Every U.S. president enters office promising stronger ties with our southern neighbors, only to thereupon largely ignore them.
The Deep South has a completely different history, both good and bad, that is fascinating for everybody. It makes people work together who usually don't, and that sounds like a cliche in so many ways, but it actually happened... and it happened because of a beautiful idea.
From tea parties to the election in Massachusetts, we are witnessing the single greatest political pushback in American history.

I think things like food, the food of the south is sort of the common tie that binds us all, Black and White, the sense memories. It's a very particular part of the country.
