I am very surprised to find out that being born in NY doesnt make me a yankee.

What say you southerners?

Well you lived down here for awhile and I guess you just grandfathered in. Second, NYC considered seceding with the South. That's my reasoning. And you like BBQ so you can't be half bad

Well, considering New York and New Jersey were very sympathetic to the cause of secession and had the rights of the state of Maryland not been violated by Federal Troops, you could have been part of the 14th and 15th stars in the battle flag.
