"A promotion - Yeeee Haaaaaah!"

Was that a typical, uncouth, confederate swamp scream?

'I was near enough at times to the rebel lines during those three terrible days, to hear the unearthly, fiendish yell, such as no other troops or civilized beings ever uttered. It was not a hearty cheer, or hurrah, or roar, but a kind of shriek as dissonant as the "Indian war-whoop", and more terrible.'
Rev. J. Chandler Gregg, Life in the army, in the departments of Virginia, and the Gulf, including observations in New Orleans, with an account of the author's life and experience in the ministry, Philadelphia, PA: Perkinpine & Higgins (1868), p. 80.

I certainly hope so.

If a founder stood an announced to all present in convention, that 'if we are unsatisfied with the proposed [national] government, we can renounce it, this is an additional safeguard to our state', would you consider them to be a crackpot? What if they stated that 'a power remains with the state until it is delegated'? Is that gentleman a lunatic? Are they insane?
