Kind of like "We were right, dammit." They still believe so. It wasn't JUST the slavery thing though, a few of the states were pissed that the government had favored the North. They felt like they were getting the ****end of the stick. That being, Texas mentioned slavery 22 times in their declaration of secession.

With the Scots supporting the south. The following wiki article may explain why; "The first United States census in 1790 revealed a well defined ethnic division between the Northern and Southern states. In New England 75 percent of the people were Anglo-Saxons in origin, while Celts outnumbered Anglo-Saxons in the South two to one."[5] "A decade before the American Civil War the South - from Virginia to Texas was probably three-quarters Celtic." It would also explain the inevitable outcome too. |

Reenactment, battle cries in general or the rebel yell in particular? Honestly, they sound very gay. It doesn't seem to be a relevant example of battle cry in World History. And to date, nobody's been equal to the Catalan Company of the East (Almogavars) in that aspect.
