The elites in central cnd just after confederation were totally aware that cnd had come into being because it was an economically sound idea. So these elites formed the cnd first group and set out to create a national mythology that would rival the americans in 1868. In order to create this myth they used a combination of a romantic rhetoric and (pseudo-)science: the north" always subjugates the south", hardy northern immigrants would be drawn to cnd.
