I must preface this by saying that I am a Yankee living in the South! I love the south and love every day I live here, but.....
I never and I mean NEVER heard about the civil war except maybe in history class for a week. Since relocating to lovely Virginia, I have heard nothing but. Some people think they are still in the war!
I was talking to a fellow the other day who said something about the war and winning someday and I reminded him that the Yankees won! I have literally seen articles in the newspapers about certain southern states wanting to suceed from the Union. True, it is isolated cluster groups, but come on!
Does anyone else experience this or is it a Virginia thing since it was a hotbed during the war?
Enlighten me please!
