Following The Forced Removal Of Various CSA Monuments, Statues, Symbols, And Flags Many Confederate Americans Once Again Feel Their Way Of Life Is Under Attack

The Confederate States of America (CSA) was a breakaway republic which seceded from the United States of America in late 1860, resulting in the American Civil War which lasted from 1861 to 1865.

Many debate the causes of Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Louisiana, and the US New Mexico Territory (Present day Arizona and New Mexico) seceding from the Union.

Confederate Americans claim that it was federal encroachment on state's rights, existing tensions between Northerners and Southerners, and that their way of life was under attack.

Whilst those north of the Union-Dixie Line (A metaphysical border within America stretching from Northern Virginia to Southern Arizona which acts a line of distinction between former Confederate States and Union States) claim that the war was about freeing the slaves from Confederate held cotton plantations, and that excuses of state's rights and Northern Aggression made by their Dixie adversaries come from the so-called: "Lost Cause Myth". 

Following the South's defeat in April of 1865, various groups came into being who's goals were and still are to preserve the Confederacy they call an: "Occupied Nation".

These groups include the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), and many more.

Some like the UDC and SCV did so by erecting statues, monuments, and creating local and state flags dedicated to their fallen ancestors.

Whilst the KKK lynched newly freed slaves and harassed Carpetbaggers (Southern slang for an influential person from the North setting up shop in the South, who'd often try to teach Confederate children about abolition and dictate legislation to dethrone and denounce the CSA).

During the Jim Crow Era in the South, segregation was legalized and Confederate flags and monuments stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the current South, CSA monuments, statues, and inspired flags have been defaced, vandalized, destroyed (Partially or fully), and removed from public spaces due to protests led by the NAACP, Southern Poverty Law Center, Black Lives Matter (BLM), and ANTIFA activists and extremists. 

In 2021, Mississippi was the last state in the Union to retain a Confederate symbol on it's flag before it was controversially replaced by the state's current New Magnolia flag.

Now calls have been made for a new Confederacy to be established, following the failures of the Biden Administration and cost of living crisis which has hit middle class Confederate Americans the hardest.

The NAACP has warned Washington that if the situation doesn't improve, the South would truly rise again.

Ethnic tensions in the South between Confederate Americans and African Americans have also risen.

With cases of lynchings, police brutality committed by white officers, public heckling towards African Americans and Confederate Americans, gang violence, targeted killings of both Confederate Americans and African Americans, and black on white crime rising since former US President, Barrack Obama, became President in 2008.

Confederate militias dubbed: "Neo-Confederates" by Democrat politicians, have been forming since the violence began.

Current US President, Joe Biden, has classified all Neo-Confederate militias: "Domestic Terrorists", after former US President, Donald Trump, refused to give such groups that status due to it violating the 2nd Amendment's description of: "Well regulated militias".

Many have been whispering of a Second American Civil War since the rise of the KKK and UDC in the 1920s, but it's unknown for sure if the separation of the USA and CSA can be achieved during the 21st century.
