Product Description

The origination of "Dixie". A medallion from the confederate Dix, or 10 dollar note!

The Infamous No. 28 Order by Maj. Gen Beast Butler. It stated: “when any female shall, by word, gesture, or movement, insult of show contempt for any officer or soldier of the United States, she shall be regarded and held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation (a prostitute).”

Just like a N’Awlins broad to say what’s on her mind! The notes were known as "Dixies" by English-speaking southerners, and the area around New Orleans and the French-speaking parts of Louisiana came to be known as "Dixieland". Eventually, usage of the term broadened to refer to most of the Southern States.
