In the South there were men of delicate fancy, urbane instinct and aristocratic manner - in brief, superior men - in brief, gentry. To politics, their chief diversion, they brought active and original minds. It was there that nearly all the political theories we still cherish and suffer under came to birth. It was there that the crude dogmatism of New England was refined and humanized. It was there, above all, that some attention was given to the art of living - that life got beyond and above the state of a mere infliction and became an exhilarating experience. A certain notable spaciousness was in the Southern scheme of things. The Ur-Confederate had leisure. He liked to toy with ideas. He was hospitable and tolerant. He had the vague thing that we call culture. --H.L. Mencken, The Sahara of the Bozart
