In most cases, the Yankee understanding of accurate history is about an inch deep

Bwaaaahaahaha!

Ok, now imagine where you'd be without nukes. (Invented in the South)

By foreigners!

fyi

"No, my ancestors just paid for it."

I doubt that.

Yankee tax dollars paid for rural electrification, which gave you Yankee invented electric light and Yankee invented air conditioning.

You do realize that the participants of the Civil War are all dead, don't you?

South Postpones Rising Again For Yet Another Year

Southerners who have not yet gotten
around to rising again.

>>Ok, now imagine where you'd be without nukes. (Invented in the South)

The two places the bomb can claim to be invented are most likely Chicago, IL and Los Alamos, NM.

Lots of places worked on it. My understanding is that southern areas were primarily involved in refinement of the plutomium and uranium, not the development of the bomb from these materials.

And when the Light House at Cape Hatteras NC needed to be moved so it would be saved from the encroaching ocean guess who they called to do the job?

YANKEES from Buffalo NY!

The same company is now saving the Lucky Strike chimney in Durham NC.

There's nothing to apologize for. Lincoln saved the union, and the Civil War ended slavery. The Confederacy wanted to end the former, and perpetuate the latter. All this crap about "states' rights" and the protection of "liberty" would mean something if the South had actually stood for something other than the enslavement of fellow human beings.

"When are these people going to stop fighting the Civil War?"

"When the Yankees admit that they were (criminally) wrong and give an abject apology."

That war, IMO, was inevitable from the beginning. Research the people involved in the Revolution and their efforts to bring education, among other things, to the tidewater states. The cultural differences (not including the plantation and slave system) are still there and neither side is showing signs of changing. Artillery won't break out again in the near future, but that war's not over.

And my ancestors weren't even here yet....

[HELLRAISER II]

You do realize that all of us down south are not the frigging idiots you have pictured here, anymore than all Yankees are useful idiots. Let's face it, some people are jerkwads from either side. Bottomline, that was then this is now. I'm a good Ol'boy, but i'm an American good Ol'boy.

[My2Cents]

Good point. Had the Confederacy succeeded, today it would be a backward third-world country that would make Mexico look like the height of civilization. A nation built upon the principle of slavery was corrupt from the start, and doomed to further degeneration.

Tax dollars shouldn't go to pay for anything of the sort. That is something that is a private industry issue and before the war was illegal under every state Constitution as well as the general government.

Mr, Benson, the year is 2002. Step into the present. C'mon! You can do it!

[Dakmar]

When the Yankees admit that they were (criminally) wrong and give an abject apology.

We don't do 'abject' for anyone. Try holding your breath, that might bring about an apology, or at least you won't care after about 8 minutes if you do it right. :-)

[billbears]

Anyone daring to disagree with them has to be berated because 'those people' have got it all figured out - after all, their 'teachers' and 'college professors' dutifully informed them that the war was all about slavery and that Lincoln freed all the slaves, and the 'history' professor wouldn't lie - would he? Lincoln must be more astute than Jesus Christ because, after all, Lincoln came along more recently on the evolutionary scale didn't he?

This one's even better. I'm not going to comment. LOL!!!

Mr. Carrier simply stole his idea from John Gorrie (a Southerner).
Jonn Gorrie
"The Apalachicola River's rich floodplains attracted many settlers during the 1800s and played an important role in the development of the town of Apalachicola. A customs office was opened in 1821; and by the time a young physician named John Gorrie arrived in 1833, Apalachicola was already flourishing as the third largest port on the Gulf, harboring ships carrying cotton back to Europe and New England. During his residence, Gorrie served as mayor, postmaster, city treasurer, council member, bank director and founder of Trinity Church. His most significant work however, was in medicine. During an outbreak of yellow fever, Gorrie's concern for patients ill with the disease led him to develop a method for cooling their rooms. Gorrie invented a machine that produced ice, laying the groundwork for modern refrigeration and air-conditioning. Gorrie died in 1855, unable to market his invention and witness the far-reaching effects of his discovery."
