If they make a living off of selling property from a "nation" which was currently under construction, then so be it. The southerners were simply pissy because they lost and slavery is abolished. As they continually see "carpetbaggers" and "scallawags" making a living off of what they feel is rightfully theirs, they are bound to be miffed.
