Dixienet website quiz 6

The website that I chose was the Dixienet website. The Dixienet website has many different items. Some items include T-Shirts that have Confederacy on the front of it also Rebel T-Shirts Confederate Battle Flag and a Rebel Flag. Their was one T-shirt that stuck me and that was the one that displaced a Confederate flag on top of the car from the Dukes of Hazzard which they called the General Lee. All these items that you can purchase on the website really talk about the South as its own nation having its own way of life. In the article by McPherson I tend to agree with him.
All of your favorite items are on their such as flowers, download music, buy jewelry, and books about the Confederacy. They shape the items to the southern way of life by displaying the elegance of the past with the advancements made in the future. Dixienet website wants to go with a classic but modern look about them. It is kind of similar to Abercrombie and Fitch in its presentation of its clothing. This website gives people a look back at for many individuals was a great time of economic and social prosperity. Many of the shirts on the websites displaced white male dominance rather than a female superiority. The shirts often are displaced as how the Confederacy were fighters against the evil system of the north. They often express fun and having a good time. The shirts never mention racism on them.
Are these shirts the right thing to have out their in the times we live in ? I believe these shirts could be seen as offensive to blacks in the south because it represents a racist period where they did not have rights and were not treated as equals. This shirts are not all that bad in the contexts of what has been on TV when you consider there have been shows glorifying the Confederate flag.
When looking through the website there was some interesting shirts and other items that displaced the Confederacy or the old south. It makes some people feel good in the south that their old way of life is not dead. It brings people back to the nastralgic era where the south used to be something. With these shirts they can express themselves in a way that they see is unacceptable in most of the country.
