Gryphon 05-26-2006, 10:30 AM Dixie is a nickname for the Southern region of the United States. SilverTalon 05-26-2006, 10:34 AM "22% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy." Okay, so...WTF is Dixie anyway? *puts on his wizard robe and hat* Oops! Wrong outfit... *puts on professor's cap instead* Dixie is a term used to refer to the southeastern region of the United States, roughly Texas east to Florida and then up to the Virginias. This region was noted for its widespread use of slavery and plantations during colonial times and remained an agrarian society during the early years of the United States. The sprawling farms and hot climate made for a markedly different culture than was found in the industrial Northern states. The region takes it's name from the Mason-Dixon line, which was initially drawn in 1763 to settle a land dispute over land grants given to George Calvert and William Penn by the king of England. The line takes it's name from the surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon. Later during the United States era, this line roughly corresponded a line demarcating "Free" from "slave" states, which is where most Americans believe the name came from. During the mid 1800s, the region seceded from the Union, sparking the American Civil War. Many battlecries centered around "Dixie" and "Dixieland" and it's become asscociated with natives of the region. This has been your history lesson for the day. :) Ardamir 05-26-2006, 12:14 PM It seems alot of ppl dont consider Texas southern....is this true? Gryphon 05-26-2006, 12:41 PM I don't. I consider a 'southerner' to be AR, LA, TN, MS, AL, GA, SC TimberWolf 05-26-2006, 01:10 PM Talking to most people here in Ohio they consider Texas to be west, not south. Nizuttz 05-26-2006, 02:07 PM I consider Texas to be "Cowpoke Country". Stoke 05-26-2006, 07:35 PM Technically (as far as the Confederacy was concerned) the South is: * South Carolina (December 21, 1860), * Mississippi (January 9, 1861), * Florida (January 10, 1861), * Alabama (January 11, 1861), * Georgia (January 19, 1861), * Louisiana (January 26, 1861), * Texas (February 1, 1861). * Virginia (April 17, 1861), * Arkansas (May 6, 1861), * Tennessee (May 7, 1861), * North Carolina (May 20, 1861) TimberWolf 05-26-2006, 07:41 PM What I was told about Texas being in the Confederacy was that it was the Democrats that chose it, the majority didn't care or want to leave the Union but the Democrat leaders lied to the people about the slaughters the Union solders were doing to southerners. Verra 05-26-2006, 09:56 PM i will have to add the southern half of missouri...we had sereval civil war battles fought on missouri land and the parks to show for it. I think if i remember my civil war history correctly that missouri toward the end of the war was considered a slave state. /edit it is not true from vicious that missouri was considered a slave state towards the end of the war.....so i do not remember my civil war history to well |
