Why Reclaiming Our Younger Southerners Is Imperative

Why The South Doesn’t Have Young Folks Supporting Her Anymore
(An excellent article that raises some vital questions from John S Mosby over at the Southern Insurgent. Let’s get their heads out of the screens and on the path to Freedom! - DD)
(John S Mosby, Southern Insurgent) - Attendance for any sort of Confederate support organizations and events have dropped off to an all time low.....what do we need to do?
Context: Until last week, I didn’t even know this was an issue. But here, we’re family, and family talks things over. That’s exactly what we’re going to do here, in this issue. Last week, I got the honor, and yes it was quite an honor, to meet the president of the local Daughters of the Confederacy for my area. I’d never had the honor before, and I spent about 30 minutes in a WalMart parking lot talking to her in the Dixie heat. I learned many things during this conversation, but one single fact left me pondering as we left to part ways. She had only 22 members, and they were all older.
The Problem: The problem we’re talking about is the huge age gap, and even lack of young folks in the market of folks observing their Southern heritage. There is an all time attendance drop, as well as a lack of young people. This was a problem that I personally have never encountered, as for me , I had started Southern Insurgent on TikTok, and I’ve constantly received messages and dms from people anywhere from late teens to early 50s, and my messaging took off, that’s one of the reasons I grew to a newsletter, because we were growing in multiple demographics.

There needs to be a Pro-South version of "PragerU" to engage with younger audiences.
I am not endorsing their organization, but PragerU has incredibly effective visuals and narrations for their videos.

- The message is clear
- The language is understandable
- The story is conveyed in a compelling manner
- The visuals properly supplement the narrative and catch the viewer's attention
There are other entities that effectively communicate as well, but PragerU comes best to mind.
So, is there an organized, existing Confederate heritage version of "PragerU"? If not, how (NOT if, but how) can such an effort be launched?
I envision such videos being utilized to thoroughly, concisely answer anti-Southern, anti-American views, such as:
- The South fought to preserve slavery
- Secession was unconstitutional
- Secession ordinances and declarations all identified slavery as the chief cause of the War
- The Cornerstone Speech was the definitive pro-slavery statement for the entire Southern Cause
Among other topics. There have been excellent videos from disparate individuals over the years, but there needs to be well-produced, short-fused, punchy videos to rapidly and decidedly refute these radical marxist talking points.
Mike couldn’t have said it better bs they teach in schools but I loved my Louisiana History teacher cuz she taught it like it was naked aggression to rob the SOUTH AND SOUTHERN PEOPLE and like the song I heard A Country Can Survive and I taught my sons that I or anyone else had a slave and if they wanna bitch about the past my families left life and limbs to keep a CHRISTIAN NATION not one ruled by a satanic cult
