Florida is different though the panhandle is similar to GA/AL/MS for obvious reasons. Virginia is different in parts. Atlanta doesn't feel like a Southern city very much today.

East Texas is part of the traditional South. Anything west of Dallas or Houston-no, it's somewhat different.

True.  East Texas was the populated region of the state and the Western edge of the Cotton belt. There are confederate memorials and statues in places.  But Texas had such a small role in the confederacy and the war. The civil war is a small part of Texas history and and the states leaders moved away , or distanced itself from the confederate South a long time ago. Texas did not want to linger about slavery and all the negatives of the confederacy and the Lost Cause when itâ€s future was so much more robust.  The Republic of Texas was considered itâ€s own country or part of the western Frontier back in the day and Texas/Mexican heritage is more prevalent. 

Just from a personal prospective, I have quite a few friends from SE TX , Beaumont and surrounding areas and visited there.  Beaumont is 90 miles East of HTown near Lake Charles LA.  They relish Texas heritage and people proudly display the Lone Star flag. They could care less about the Ole South or Stars and Bars flags nor have any yankee hang ups. 

Vidor,TX just East if Beaumont.  Thatâ€s a white racist town that has been mired by the KKK and many fly Stars and Bars,  but they hijacked the flag.

It's a nice park, At least a third of attendees are black. Nobody there seems upset over it, though I know folks protest outside the park at times. Eh.

My "solution" would be to collect money from the folks who don't like it to put Grant/Sherman/Lincoln opposing them to the left.

I'm familiar with Texas. I was stationed there for a short time. Traveled all over - Dallas, Temple, Belton, Austin, San Marcos, San Antonio, Houston, Brownsville, etc. My brother still has a house in The Woodlands - he lets a cousin live in in exchange to keep it up.

Texas was on my short list of places to retire to. Same with GA, NC, and VA.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

It all seems so silly to me. Why not take a collection to put Larry, Curly, and Moe right in the middle?

Helen Plane is the first person on record to have mentioned the idea of a Confederate Memorial on Stone Mountain. A charter member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and president of the Atlanta Chapter, Mrs. Plane first suggested a memorial carving in 1909. Although her initial vision for the carving, a portrait of General Lee with the possible incorporation of Ku Klux Klan figures, gave way to Gutzon Borglum's plans for a grand procession, Plane remained influential throughout the 1910s. Indeed, it was she that made the decision to approach the well-known Borglum about undertaking the project.
Mrs. Plane's devotion to the memorialization of the Confederacy's heroes stemmed, at least in part, from her desire to memorialize her own husband. Her husband, Maj. Plane, served as a medic in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia.

But the overlap between the memorial and the Klan didnâ€t end with their geographical origins. At one point, Borglum considered including the KKK in his monument at the prompting of Plane, who wrote:

“The Birth of a Nation will give us a percentage of next Mondayâ€s matinee. Since seeing this wonderful and beautiful picture of Reconstruction in the South, I feel that it is due to the Ku Klux Klan which saved us from Negro domination and carpet-bag rule, that it be immortalized on Stone Mountain. Why not represent a small group of them in their nightly uniform approaching in the distance?”

Although Borglum ultimately declined to include the figures in his carving, he agreed the KKK should have some recognition in the memorial, perhaps in a room carved out of the mountain. But none of his plans were destined to be achieved. By 1924 he had only completed Leeâ€s head, having been delayed by World War I, and a disagreement between Borglum and the managing association resulted in him leaving the project in 1925. But he wasnâ€t between jobs for long; Borglum went on to work on Mount Rushmore, a project that lasted him from 1927 till 1941.

Lrrps, if you're still considering Texas I would make it west Texas.  Dallas/Ft Worth is a 100+ degree humid swamp in the summer.  I would think NM would also be a good place to retire.  I would imagine you could find cheap real estate there as well.  I would think so anyway.    Dodgy

I know Texas pretty well. The weather does not bother me. I have a friend who is from Las Vegas, NM. Visited him after he exited the military. Back then it would have been cool but now it's not an option.

It's not the weather, it's the government I'm escaping from.
