I\'m thinking of writing a story that would be a Deconstruction of certain expectations of this Trope. An Alternate history where The South won the Civil war, but 50 years latter Slavery was peacefully phased out (Something which many Historians agree was already inevitable) and in fact people of African descent have more freed in the Confederacy then they do in The North, because their less of a minority there and so have more political influence.

Partly because Blacks are less of a minority there and so have more political influence. But also because certain Bitter attitudes of Modern Southerns I believe are more the result of Reconstruction then of them inheriting Pre-Civil war attitudes. It was the rich Plantation owners who wanted Slavery before the Civil War, most soldiers fighting in it didn\\\'t understand or care what the reasons where, they where defending their homeland from an Invasion.
