Ep. 9: That This Nation May Endure--The Need for Political Regionalism
Donald Davidson's essay "That This Nation May Endure--The Need for Political Regionalism" in the 1936 book, "Who Owns America" is a stark reminder that the issues Americans face today are not new. Centralization and "New England imperialism" have long been a problem for the majority of Americans.

Ep. 8: Remembering "Stonewall"
In 1895, "Stonewall" Jackson's widow, Mary Anna Jackson, penned her "Memoirs of Stonewall Jackson" as a tribute her her late husband. This selection is a portion of the concluding chapter, and it displays the humanity, love, compassion, heroism, devotion, and emotion of the Southern tradition.

Ep. 6: The Meaning of Confederate Monuments
Why were Confederate monuments built? If you listen to modern establishment historians, the answer would be racism and to perpetuate the "myth of the Lost Cause." But is this true? Not if you actually read what these people said.

Ep. 5: Southern Conservatism
How do we define "Southern Conservatism"? M.E. Bradford provided the
best explanation in 1993, and we discuss his definition on this episode
of The Essential Southern Podcast.

Ep. 3: Carolina! Carolina!
Music and poetry have long been indicators of a robust culture and tradition. The South excelled at both. Henry Timrod's "Carolina!" served as the basis of the South Carolina State song, ad it is a fine example of Southern tradition, honor, and heroism.
