This is a 2011 lecture at Vanderbilt University about the politics of the south by an historian of the period: youtube.com If you start at around 12:30 or so, you will get 3 minutes on the Confederate Constitution, and will see some startling similarities between the things that were written into that document and what teapers want to do today. What's interesting is that according to this prof, the Confederate constitution did not want subsidies give to companies, and yet, that's one of the favorite tools of the current South. But I can see how the attitudes during the Civil War shaped the attitudes that southerners have now.
