Last Chance to be counted

Then you can still be a yankee (north) or rebel (south) Which hemisphere do you live in? lol.

I'm a Texan as well. I couldn't answer the poll either...

REBEL SOUTHERNER FEREVER. I EVEN FLY A Rebel Flag 24-7, But I would have fought for States Rights, NOT SLAVERY!

I'm Suth'n... through and through.

One can be from the South, and one can be Southern. They aren't the same thing, you know. Southern is a state of mind, an attitude, if you will.

DH is full-blooded Yankee, but since he's a mountain man (as opposed to a citified, soft guy), I have found it in my little ole southern heart to forgive that about him!

I was raised in the country. My values are like country folks every where. We helped each other when a "hand was needed". Seems like everyone around knew you or someone in your family. I could hear cows moo; chickens cluck and roosters crow; tree toads sing in the night and bull frogs call across the nearby pond. We could shoot a rifle out the kitchen window and not fear for anyones safety "down range". I hunted small game and deer; coon hunted with my bus driver and his family, some good times were had there listening to the hounds sing as they ran a coon through the night.

I am a church member. I became a Boy Scout when my 3 sons started scouting. They are now grown and are raising their families. One is in Tennessee. Yes, I am still in scouting serving on various training courses and volunteering at our Summer Camp.

While I live in NJ I think I could fit in North or South. Actually I did that for 6 months during my freshman year and no one thought, "I was a darn Yankee".

All politics aside, North or South my heart is that of a country boy. You'll have to make your own choice about me.

Born in GA, raised and still live in TN. Southern through and through. Paula Dean's my hero!

Someone mentioned the difference in being southern and from the south . . . DH asked a friend of his at one point why children of a Yankee friend of their's were still Yankees, she pointed out to him, "If your cat has kittens in the oven, you don't call them biscuits, do you?"

I'm as Southern as they come...born and raised in the heart of Dixie (Alabama) and have lived in the south my entire life (Alabama, Louisiana, Virginia, Texas and now Mississippi). My ancestors fought in the Civil War and my son was a Civil War Reenactor with the 16th Alabama Regiment. It is my educated opinion that if one fought for the Civil War one was fighting for States' Rights, not slavery. Lincoln (who's wife owned slaves) made slavery a war issue to stop France and England from joining the Southern Cause.

By the way, my first name is Paula and my middle name is Dean (named after my Daddy) and I sure didn't know I was anybody's hero!

American by birth!!!! We have lived in North Carolina and in Texas and at the present in Pennsylvania, so yankee or rebel do not apply. My ancestors have been here since 1737, so between living in the southeast and the southwest and having family all across the country I choose American.

As a Civil War (War between the States) re-enactor I have portrayed both sides (1st GA Co. A,Irish Jasper Greens & 45th PA Co. K, Cherokee Rifles) and find no real difference between the sides other than dialect....Most folks are down-home good people. JMHO

I'm from England so I put observer.Though I've done all my 'observing' from the west coast, so I guess I'm a western observer.

I guess I would be rebel since I live in the deep south and always have.
