Assuming the CSA survives, is "Dixie" being the national anthem of the Confederacy a natural choice? Were there/are there any other candidates? Just curious. Being from Minnesota and only exposed to southern culture for the last 4 years or so, I'm pretty clueless on folk songs/anthems and the like, even despite being a big listener of country music. I'd imagine the historical significance of the song and the fact that it's still the unofficial anthem of the south even today (as evidenced even by the popularity of the phrase "whistlin' Dixie") that it'd be probably the most logical choice? Any thoughts on this?
