There were (and still are) more differences between Yankees and Southerners than between Yankees and English-speaking Canadians.

That says it all.

That's not how George Washington saw it:

"Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of american, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the Independence and Liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts, of common dangers, sufferings, and successes."

George Washington, 9/17/96

That's more true now that it was in 1796.

Gee whiz.

It's just like someone said on FR after 9/11. "They may be Yankees, but they're OUR Yankees."
