Reconstructing the New South


“Nashville’s going to be a progressive, diverse city and there’s nothing that you can do about it. Millennials moving from up north and foreigners immigrating from across the border have changed the city’s population and thus changed the city’s way of life – for the better. Nashville isn’t a Southern city anymore and is never going to be a Southern city again – good! Neither are Annapolis, Asheville, Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Raleigh-Durham, San Antonio, and all of ‘Washington and Lee’s’ Northern Virginia, which is now just a suburb of Washington, D.C. That’s not even counting the Southern cities that just became outright slums, like Baltimore, Birmingham, Memphis, St. Louis, and Vicksburg. The South may have lost the war 150 years ago, but it is only just now being conquered.”
