"I hope sincerely that you stay out of the South and never come anywhere near it. We can do quite well without any fool-acting people like yourself."

A historian informed me with the following that the area was part of the North.

"Just for your info, the Majority of East Tennesseans were Union symphatisers. They raised several Dozen Federal Regiments fighting to restore the Union."

"But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire" (Matthew 5:22, KJV).

I'm confused. I'm from "the south" and when someone uses the words north & south, they are usually referring to geographic location. Is there a post in this thread that talks about the Union & Confederacy?

Your reply was nothing short of infantile.

I said nothing about the Civil War and if you wish to take issue with someone else's post regarding the Civil War, take it up with them and not with me. I, of course, was referring to the geographical and cultural region which is the South and, more specifically, Tennessee---a region with which you probably have little to no personal experience or knowledge of.

As for the scripture you quoted, I am quite well aware of it and I hold it to be holy and sacred. But fear not, for I am angry for a cause, not without one. You and others like you malign a region of the country which more than any other is populated by people who still know and appreciate the holy scriptures and the God who wrote them and go in numbers disproportionately higher than most of the rest of the country to houses of worship to praise Him and hear his word regularly. To paint us as ignorant, prejudicial fools is unfair and unwarranted, and for that offense I am justifiably angry.
