You said you didn't want people to move to where you live. I assume you meant Northerners. Who else would you have meant?
This article attacks quality of life in my homeland and I was refuting it only. BTW More than 2500 men from the Illinois and Michigan regiments died in a battle not far from me in Kennesaw Ga. There is a very nice memorial there for these and the confederate men who died in this battle.
I have a high amount of respect for those who fought that war in those conditions on both sides.
