Richmond, sir?! Yes, it would be a shame if our fatcat politicians had to try to mount some horses and high-tail it south! We Mississippians protect the really important section of our nation - the Rivers. You Easterners can build your little forts to protect your buildings and landmarks but we out west fight out in the open like men. And what do yall need cavalry for?! My men could hike the 90 miles to Washington in a day and a half!
Sadly the out in the open philosophy was used by Ol' Wooden Head & Granny Bragg...look where it got them!
You speak of loosin' dem rivers, but look where all the money comes n goes, outta the East!
Besides how many times did we have to send men West to save ya'll! You also ain't got no one like Uncle Robert, whom is the whole Confederacy by and by!!
Now you Western boys go back to climbing hills and burying yer dead and allow us Virginians to get the job done!
