Comments on: SOUTHERN GIRL ON FIRE: Introducing Rebecca Dillingham, AKA Dissident Mama https://barelyablog.com/southern-girl-on-fire-rebecca-dillingham-aka-dissident-mama/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Musil Protege https://barelyablog.com/southern-girl-on-fire-rebecca-dillingham-aka-dissident-mama/comment-page-1/#comment-25850 Thu, 19 Nov 2020 11:38:40 +0000 https://barelyablog.com/?p=149458#comment-25850 A wonderful piece of sustained and quiet eloquence, a cri de coeur worthy of pamphlet-izing, in an earlier (more literary) age. Rebecca has written the sort of letter that I dare say soldiers carried in their haversacks nearly 160 years ago to remind them what they fought for.

A great defense of the South and Southern tradition, without the least hint of weepy, sentimental lost-cause-ism. And, by the way, there’s nothing lost about that cause anyway!
