The Unofficial National Anthem



What was the political party affiliation of the composer of the lyrics, Joseph Hopkinson?

Would Southrons consider "Dixie" to be the "national anthem" of the CSA? Or would they prefer "God Save the South" instead? If secesssion had succeeded, would the region still want to be known as the "South" in contradistinction to the "North"? Or would they have prefered something like Dixie instead?
