The Citizens bank of Louisiana was located at 214 rue Royal ( 214 Royal street) the current location of Brennan’s in the French Quarters. The word Dix is a French word for Ten so it would be pronounced Deces, but English speakers didn’t know how to pronounce this so it got transmuted to Dixie. So Alabama might be the heart of Dixie, the birth place is at 214 Rue Royal New Orleans Louisiana.
The Mason-Dixon Line also defines the border between Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and interestingly enough, West Virginia exists because we were granted statehood on June 20th, 1863 in exchange for joining The Union. Also, "dix" is pronounced DEE.
Actually, "Dixie" comes from the word "Dix" as in "Donkey Dix"--the thing that Democrats in the South then and Democrats today eat all day long as a political party. We all know this is true.
im sorry, but i was a history major and honestly deal with it, the term dixie comes from the mason dixon line. just like when people say north of dixie, they are saying north of the line. maryland is called the old line state because it drew the sharp jarring difference in beliefs around the civil war, which if the massachusetts regiment hadn't interfered, maryland would have joined the confederacy as the third state to secede. Dixie was also the nickname given to the plantation owned by jeremiah dixon which was in the grasslands, also considered the chesapeake low country in somerset county md
@@Benjamin72297 im sorry, but..i didnt notice the condescendence! i just read his theory and it makes sense...it could well be both!..i think YOUR ego felt condescendence...as an outsider...i didn..he said im a history major..! that was IT! And you actually dont even say "he SOUNDED condescending...but that he IS condescending! based on one phrase he wrote not his WHOLE PERSONA OR LIFE? lol..why condescending? cuz someone might have an inferiority complex, even for a minute...cheers! lighten up...u ended up looking bad, not the "teacher" lol :)
I used to shop at Winn Dixie before they eventually got bought out, and also played in Dixie Youth little league baseball. Of course the word is slowly being erased, along with most of the culture and history in the south.
white people? talking about their history being erased? lol cry me a dixie river. and its actually because history is getting more exposed. cant get away with certain shit anymore like you could 50 yrs ago
Magic City refers to Miami, but it used to refer to Birmingham. www.miami.com/miami-news/why-is-miami-called-the-magic-city-heres-the-real-story-176999/

Check out Mason Dixon
Where's Arkansas? We're sooo southern! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
You pronounce it Deez
Deez nuts?
Ask keeping the good genes
Seriously? Wasn't it from the name Dixon? As in the Mason-Dixon line. I've always believed that
“Magic city, hot Lana, or the big ezzy”
I have lived in Alabama my whole life and I’ve never heard any of those nicknames except Dixie, but that’s it.
Rondy Fox Hotlanta is Atlanta.
Big Easy is New Orleans.
Not sure how you've never heard these.
Mirza Ahmed Idk, I guess people have stopped saying the nicknames?
