[Colonel Kangaroo]

My people came from Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina. Up in the mountains where in the mid 1800s people generally thought of themselves as Americans and not Southerners.

Sadly, there was many good people in the lowland South who were ill-served and misled by the movers and shakers of the slaveowning interest. A relic of the old Unionists is found in Harrogate Tennessee where Lincoln Memorial University has the motto "We wear his name proudly ".
