Nine Nations: Dixie

Nine Nations review continued:

Are you "goin' to Jackson?" Do you know where Jackson is?

If the people of the Ozarks felt antipathy to the Confederacy, why are they part of Dixie? Find out. Does their "rising" (or not) with the New South have anything to do with it?

Why might part of Oklahoma be called "Little Dixie?" Could it have anything to do with their attitude toward outsiders or does it go back to history of the Civilized Tribes? Have you ever hidden out in brush country?
If you or yours have ever felt like part of a conquer4ed people you might have a clue.

East Texas up by Louisiana is pure Dixie says Joel and I tend to agree with him, even though I have met a person or two from that neck of the woods who tend to feel affinity for the Southwest.

There have been times when a Black man would rather live in the South because "A man knew whee he stood there." There are probably those who still think so .I'm talking about the idea that there is a lot of poorly masked racism for sea to shinning sea in North America. There may be less hypocrisy in Dixie than there is in some other parts.

Texas and Florida may still hold the place of top growth center in North America, but cities in other States of Dixie such as Atlanta, Georgia have flourished.

Leaders of the America energy industry call Dixie home.

Hey, did you know that the only one of the Nine Nations entirely in the United States is Dixie?

"Ecotopia"

Ecotopia is one of the "Nine Nations. "  It lies close along the north Pacific shore of North America.

Form Ecotopia barges can make it all the way to Idaho. 

Ecotopia runs along the west coast of North America from just north of southern California north along the coast of Oregon, Washington, and Canada well up the Alaskan coast.

There are persons in Ecotopia willing to reduce the amount if money they earn in order to improve their quality of life. They question the directions we take. Even some southern Californians may call Ecotopians weird. They  are against things like putting an atomic plant for the generation of electricity near a liquid propane plant in an earth quake fault. How weird is that?

The people of Ecotopia note that our failure to stop wealthy business owners from employing large numbers of illegal aliens by enforcing our laws, takes our employment and weakens respect for our laws.

There is a high level of education and if civic organization in Ecotopia.
