I realize that you refuse to acknowledge anything positive in Yankee history, but surely the words "Lexington, Concord and Bunker Hill" mean something to you, don't they? "Boston Tea Party" maybe?

You talking about those NE states that are full of european socialists and commies, right?

And the New Englanders didn't call it "secession," either.

That's because some of them, who considered themselves British to the core, weren't totally committed to separating from England.

They called in what it was, a rebellion.

I believe it was called a 'revolution' but, whatever....

‘That’s because some of them, who considered themselves British to the core, weren’t totally committed to separating from England.’

There were no Tory armies in New England.

If not for those NE states, y'all would still be sippin' tea, whuppin' the chattel, and toasting "God Save the King, Y'all".
