From what I've seen a lot of Southern folks take their past seriously - they are proud to be 'rebels', and I don't think most of them mean slaveowners.
Understandably the black folks see it just a slight bit differently and whites folks would do well to consider that (as black folks should think about pride in history regarding the white folks).
And of course the Governor is a politician. But a Southern man can't mention any consideration for being a rebel and a southerner without being pilloried. Honor, duty, courage.
