DEBUNKING DIXIE
Jason Rowland
Hello! My name is Jason Rowland, and I'm a junior majoring in Organizational Studies (with a concentration in Human Capital Management) at the University of Michigan. Additionally, I'm currently completing a minor in writing through Michigan's Sweetland Center for Writing. This website is for my gateway project, and aims to debunk popular myths about the Old American South. For a quick preview of the site, please scroll down. To read more about my motivations for creating this site, visit "The Why" tab. Otherwise, the main content of the site is on the page titled "Our History." Thank you for browsing!

History is not on the side of those who claim that the War was fought solely for state’s rights.
