Southern Progressivism

is an ideology concerning the reform of the concept of Southern Pride to more accurately reflect the multicultural aspects of the South. It seeks to embrace a new, progressive shared identity between the many regional cultures of the South; from the typically conservative rural and liberal urban communities, to the African American and Hispanic communities of the Deep South, to the Cajun communities of Louisiana, and everything in between.

It is economically left unity, and culturally  progressive, and supports many progressive issues that are often otherwise ignored in the South; such as  LGBTQ+ and  women's rights. It sees these issues as instrumental to uniting all the various peoples of the South, leaving no group left behind.

It specifically rejects the Confederacy and Confederate sympathies, seeing it as one of many dark stains on the South's past, and seeks to build a form of Southern Pride completely divorced from any notions of racism and bigotry. As such, it also rejects Confederate symbolism as symbols of the South, preferring instead to utilize the Bonnie Blue Flag as the symbol of both the ideology and the South as a whole.
