I am commenting on the fact that most people have settled the civil war in their minds about 100 years ago.
The whole, “I am southern” thing has always made me shudder a little bit. It suggests that those raised in other parts of the country do not feel strongly about our heritage, our country, or our personal pride.
What would the response be to me saying, “I am a Northerner. In civil wars we are 1 and 0.” Do you think that would generate some comments?
So, please. Give me a break. I was not referencing his service to our country. I was referencing his arrogance and ignorance.
“I was referencing his arrogance and ignorance.”
Arrogance and ignorance? Such drivel does not warrant a reply.
“The whole, “I am southern” thing has always made me shudder a little bit”
Yet you go on a thread that makes you shudder in order to insult a guy who was expressing pride in his own heritage.
” I was referencing his arrogance and ignorance.”
Your humility and good manners are a credit to Puritan/yankee culture.
I think it’s fine for you to claim Yankee heritage pride myself if you can
Most modern Yankees are post conflict arrivals whereas southerners are not
We are without a doubt the most culturally intact white....and black for that matter populace in the nation and are 90% confederate states descended though with Yankees pouring in for jobs and refuge in general that is changing fast
I love Vermont....I knew it before city folks moved in and damaged her so
It’s a loss for sure
What I find disturbing is people such as the controversial Gov. Nikki Haley trying to destroy our history, forcing her bigotry against the South on others. In her hatred or delusional state, she even blamed the church killings on the flag.
