  Southrons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Haradrim or Southrons are a race of Men in Middle-earth, the fantasy world created by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The lands of the Haradrim lie to the south of Gondor past the river Harnen.
At the time of the War of the Ring, the Southrons were in league with Sauron and fought alongside his orc army, riding atop gigantic, elephant-like mûmakil.

The Southrons were upon them quicker than Legolas had guessed, giving him leave to shoot only two arrows before throwing down his bow and drawing his curved Elvish blade from its scabbard.
The other one was upon him, and before he could turn, the Southron leapt at him, stabbing into his shoulder with the wicked dagger and throwing him to the ground.
The victory was so complete, the Southrons were never again as great a power as they had been, becoming instead a mostly wandering tribe of barbarians that roamed about attacking at will.

But the hundreds of Southron cavalrymen who pounded past the huge column of the Reedbottoms and Adrian's mercenaries—heading the other way, as fast as they could drive their velipads loaded with booty—were too preoccupied with staying in their saddles to notice the expression on her face.
Her lover had told her that the Reedbottoms—alone of the Southron tribes—were ready to make what he called "the leap to feudalism." Which, he said, always entailed the ruling elite taking on at least the trappings of civilization.
As a rule, even among the chiefly class, the Southron tribesmen were easier going in their treatment of women than Vanberts—leaving aside the horrid practice of female circumcision—much less Emeralds or Islanders.

We can no longer divide our loyalties; either we are Southrons and loyal to our Dream of Independence and Liberty, or else we are eager, willing slaves of Leviathan, ready at any moment to go overseas and kill or be killed for the ‘glory’ of the flag and false ‘freedom’.
The only time we Southrons must fight under the US flag is if a foreign enemy actually invades; otherwise, we are ‘cannon fodder’ for rich Yankees and scalawags who exploit our patriotism.

The warriors of many southron tribes tended to scorn armor, other than whatever protection was provided by the quivers which held their arrows and, of course, the great velocipad-hide shields they favored.
The semi-nudity of the southrons was natural enough, given the climate.
What made it worse was that Adrian could not simply relegate the southrons to the status of "barbarians" and then ignore their crudities, much as a man ignores the toiletry of animals.

The southrons had taken it away from King Geoffrey's men when the war was barely a year old, and they'd held it ever since, even when Thraxton the Braggart mounted an invasion of Cloviston.
Southron prisoners had told Gremio that that roar was worth regiments of men on the battlefield.
A moment later, he once more wished he hadn't had a thought, for all the southrons in the first row of proper earthworks leaped up onto the shooting steps, leveled their crossbows on the parapet, and delivered a volley the likes of which Gremio had never seen for sheer destructive power.

Recent marks of devastation, smoked from the blood-stained earth; and in the midst of a barren waste, a few houseless wretches rushed forward at sight of the Regent, threw themselves before his horse, and begged a morsel of food, for their famishing selves, and dying infants.
It was at this period, that the signal was given from the horn of Wallace; and the division of Graham, meeting the retreating Southrons as they attempted to form behind the hill, completed their defeat.

In the 1860s, the American Empire destroyed and confiscated the property of the Southern people while Southerners were acting within their rights.

 Southrons must be Anti-War!
We can no longer divide our loyalties; either we are Southrons and loyal to our Dream of Independence and Liberty, or else we are eager, willing slaves of Leviathan, ready at any moment to go overseas and kill or be killed for the 'glory' of the flag and the false 'freedom' of this villainous country.
The only time we Southrons must fight under the US flag is if a foreign enemy actually invades the South in force; otherwise, we are 'cannon fodder' for rich yankees and scalawags who exploit our patriotism to preserve their own lives and filthy lucre.
Too, any victory we might win for them might well be thrown away (as was the victory won in the Gulf War of 1990-91) in their attempt to maintain newly-won influence over 'allies' by allowing an enemy dictator to retain power for purposes of 'promoting stability'.

I believe that a Southron (or a Southerner, if you prefer) is one who shares our Southern culture (and there is a Southern culture, make no mistake about it), our Southern traditions, and our love of the South.
It seems to me that you have simply taken the current American definition and "Southronized" it, but that is a judgement of your motives and I can't be sure of them until you declare them.
If not, then let me clarify them now - a Southron is one who adheres to Southern culture, who lives in the South or at least considers it home, who speaks our language, who understands our ways, and who considers himself one of us.

The Confederatephobes make widespread use of looking at events "through rose colored glasses." Southrons are often criticized for its corollary, labeled "moonlight and magnolias." Dixie's detractors have applied this skewed logic to numerous ideas; among them execution of all Confederates, and modern events like the Texas Supreme Court Building and Vanderbilt dormitory scandals.
Such hypocrisy is the reason for the attacks on Lincoln not his hope-filled oratories.
This is the primary weapon used to unjustly demonize Southrons in general and Confederates specifically.

Then taking the colors of Edward from the ground (where the Southron officer had laid them), he gave them to Sir Alexander Scrymgeour, with orders to fill their former station on the citadel, with the standard of Scotland.
