I'm a Yankee now and would have been back then. I'm not exactly the Southern Belle type.
Are you talking politically or geographically? Slavery is wrong but I can understand how the South would have been pissed at being denied their state's rights by Emperor Abe. And the way the South got decimated is just shameful. But I'd have probably been a Yankee just the same.

I'm southern all the way. I was born in Florida, my mother is from Alabama and my pop is from North Carolina. I love everything that the south stands for, southern hospitality, southern drawl, mint juleps on the veranda, laid back afternoons in the sweltering heat. Men in light colored suits, women in fabric that caresses their curves. Spanish moss hanging from the limbs of trees, the scent of jasmine on the evening breeze. Salty foam on the ocean waves and sandy beaches sloughing away the edges. Pomp and circumstance interupted by a joke in poor taste and cigar smoke wafting through the room. The stroll through a friendly neighborhood, dotted with familiar smiling faces.....

Born in Tennessee, childhood in Kentucky.. Mostly raised in Southern Maryland.. I have family in every one of the southern states... My grand pappy was a rail road engineer, from the gulf to Illinois.. My great-great uncle was the Governor of Arkansas in the 60's. I can catch and eat crawdads, and I don't mind being called honeychild, porkchop, tigerlily, or suga. I keep musket balls form "the WAR" in my jewelry box that my dad dug from a tree in KY..I laugh at and understand Ray Stevens and Jerry Clower. I like chess pie and sweet tea..
Do I qualify?

I stayed the summer with my grandmother when I was six. She lived in the hills in Tennessee. I used to go down the hill to the shallow creek and chase crawdads...almost cut my toe off jumping from rock to shore to rock. One jump was onto a broken soda bottle. I used to also climb the mimosa tree in the neighbor's yard, then I'd tie thread to their legs and "fly them".

Dang, did I forget the "catch June bugs" part.
My mind is working faster than my fingers this morning. Guh. I gotta' get out the door and to work.
