Before Trump, Qanon and anti-vaxxers, the South was still a different country, defined by the American Civil War in a way that the North never was. Here a fascinated and curious northerner engages with battle re-enactors, Daughters of the Confederacy, local museums and others ruminating on the war that for many never ended. His empathy and thoughtful reflections are not only entertaining but provide welcome context on the mindset of much of the modern USA.
