One of my ancestors, by the way, was among those immigrants.

So were all of mine, by the way, from Galway and Kerry and Roscommon.

Only I didn't grow up to go around telling my Southern neighbors, "Nyaaah, nyaaah, nyaaah, our Indiana regiments burned down your worthless state ha ha ha!"

Nor did I. It wasn't until I found large contingent of folks who seem to think that my ancestors who fought under the United States flag were the raping, pillaging, duped horde of a proto-fascist dictator at whose feet every ill in American history since can be laid that I began to respond.
