I understand what you mean about the hatred.....I'm reading on the thread you pinged me to, I feel like I need a shower.


While I understand your point, it is going to be pretty difficult for any future generations to deny their Yankee heritage, since my husband's family cemetary in New Hampshire is also the family cemetary of the family of Nathan Hale.

LOL!
Nor should you! I am very proud of my Southern Heritage as you should be your Northern!
I fear that the thread has taken a bit of a us against them tone. We are one nation. As I stated in a previous post, we generally migrate to a state that reflects what we hold to be important for our family.
I have found that in the South one is free to believe and practice most anything, we only get upset when someone tries to force us to believe and teach our children in opposition to our belief.

i had ONE ancestor who (GASP!) rode/fought with a yankee/KS-jayhawker unit during the war.

a LOT of my family not only won't talk about him BUT also some of the family deny he was ever ALIVE.

the same will VERY likely be true of your descendants, come dixie LIBERTY.

btw, Harvey W. was the ONLY one who was a turncoat; the other 13 lads were PURE REBEL.

btw, the HATRED exposed on the other thread is the REAL REASON that the war will never end until dixie is FREE.

free dixie,sw
