First off.... my comment about the term "Yankee" and being a southerner was tongue in cheek. Humor in case that goes over your head.
Secondly.... while Slavery was the primary motivator behind the Southern States choosing to secede from the Union, it was not the cause for which Southern soldier fought. The war was fought over whether or not Americans had the right to self determination that they exerted in 1776. Had you wandered around among the campfires in the Army of Northern Virginia in 1862 - 1865 and asked the soldiers why they were fighting you would have gotten many responses and reasons. I seriously doubt any would have mentioned slavery at all.
But hey, we all know how you liberal racist elitist's do not think people have the right to choose their own form of Govt. because YOU know better what is best for them and folks should just hand YOU all of the power because only YOU can effectively rule.
Your assumptions are correct in one way only: Liberals make me sick to my stomach.
Now... back to flying and Cliffs of Dover.
