Anyway, I took it as a compliment to be called a Southerner; my son-in-law is 100% Southern.
Kinda like the war itself. Being born north of the Mason-Dixon line didn't make many a northerner any less a southern sympathizer.
It's S.O.P. for those who favor the South to run down Grant with ignorant comments about "drunk" this and "butcher" that because they can't handle what happened on April 9th, 1865.
So yeah, I get more than a little sick of the disrespect from those that wish Lee had won, and they could preserve states rights...and own all the slaves they wanted to today.
