Talk:Southern chivalry

Quick note on the bolds and redirects
So I think that "Southern chivalry" and "Cavalier myth" have enough overlap to have them listed as synonyms in the lead as they are now as a simple application of WP:SKYISBLUE, and historians seem to use the two interchangeably (I actually only found the Virginia article through an r/askhistorians thread on reddit where the responder simply referred to them as if they were one and the same), however we don't have any RS specifically stating that "X is equal to Y" so as it stands the "chivalry" and "gentleman" sides of the article are talking about the more general idea of a code of honor, while the "Cavalier" side is more about the specific literary allusions to the English Royalists and directly comparable groups. If anyone finds something on this topic we can simply add it to the lead with a short paragraph on the historiography of the two terms in relation to one another.
