A Yankee by geography.

And most of our Southern posters like what she has to say.

Very strange.

Oddly enough as well, she isn't very well liked up north.
This is an outrage.

Nobody ever said there weren't good yankees, sharkey. But Swervie is right about there being a lot of folks in the south who neither owned slaves nor thought it was right. And slavery was legal in all the American colonies at one time. Most of the northern states abandoned slavery prior to the war, but they were also very discriminatory of free blacks. Some states even outlawed them as I understand, so I don't buy the nobility of purpose nonsense. It was a convenient issue, just like a distorted notion of racism is a convenient issue now.
