“I am not trying to diminish Southern heritage in any way, shape, or form. Unfortunately for many people around here, supporting their Southern heritage requires lying about my Northern heritage. That’s what I try and correct.”
You are correcting nothing. The Civil War is still the Civil War, and you are just stirring the pot. That’s OK, we like it better here in the South, as you obviously do as well. Why do you think that is?
I try to.

Why do you think I like it better in the South? I've no desire to live there, don't vacation there, and no plans on moving there. I was born and raised in Illinois and currently live in Kansas and I expect that I'll remain here for the rest of my life.
And let me hasten to add that I spent just about all my active duty Navy career, almost 9 years, stationed in the South so it's not like I've never been there. I don't have any bad memories of my time down there, the people I met were nice enough, the place I was stationed at was nice enough as well. But for all that I don't have any desire to return there to live or work. Or anything else.
Why do you like it better in the South? I imagine it's because it's home to you. Why do I have no desire to move there? Because it isn't home to me, and never could be.
Anything else you want to know?
