- ALT1:... that "God Save the South" was the unofficial national anthem of the Confederate States of America (flag pictured)?
- ALT2:... ... that the Confederate anthem, "God Save the South" (cover pictured) was criticised as being too similar to God Save the Queen, yet mentioned George Washington?

Seems great! The first hook seems especially suitable. I would omit the mention of Washington in ALT2 to make it punchier. I would recommend that the cover image not be used: it is not particularly clear at low resolution - but certainly open to other opinions. Thanks for all your work - great article!
