Premise: The South that is triumphant now, concludes Applebome, is one that both Grizzard and neo-Confederates would celebrate, a place of feel-good nostalgia, easy answers, and painless solutions, forever looking backward through a pale mist and seeing only the soft focus outlines of what it wants to see.

Hypothesis: Some neo-Confederates see the larger picture of what the past outlines and its implications on modern-day society.
Relation: neutral
