My fellow Southerners, let us not be provoked. All their actions merely reveal their desperation. They sought to make their conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East global concerns, but Russia and Iran did not take the bait. Now, they turn to a familiar ploy: vilifying the South. They are tearing down our heritage before our very eyes, melting our statues, and ridiculing our ancestors. They reopen old wounds and sow new divisions. The South was among the first to face cancellation; they reanimate its memory only to cancel it once more. They are bereft of options and wish to incite us to foolish actions, providing the excuse they seek to impose martial law and shackle this republic. The South cannot bear responsibility for this. We must temper our passions, understanding that their actions are temporary. Like the Soviet Union, these aggressors sow their own destruction. Their deeds can be reversed, the monuments they dismantle can be restored. Do not allow them to deceive you into believing we will forsake our heritage and forebears. Exercise patience, and we shall restore all.

Take pride in your Southern heritage. Our culture is distinctive. It was a deliberate endeavor to efface the Southern identity. Globalists abhor nationalists; imagine their disdain for regionalists. We were one of their first targets. We are a gentle, agrarian, Christian region. We fought in the War Between the States for the right to self-govern, despite what they teach in public schools. The issue of states' rights resurfaces once more. The path lies in the Tenth Amendment, but these antagonists seek to conceal the true nature of the Civil War.

Ironically, those tearing down our culture are the modern-day enslavers. They condemn past wrongs yet perpetrate their own form of enslavement at the Southern Border.

Do not yield to provocation. Exercise patience, and trust that God will guide us through these despotic and somber times.
