It is generally accepted that the South East or the south is any state that is below the Maison Dixon line and was part of the CSA during the Civil War Indiana was a member of the Union. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana During the American Civil War, Indiana became politically influential and played an important role in the affairs of the nation. As the first western state to mobilize for the war, Indiana's soldiers were present in all of the major engagements during the war. Indiana residents were present in both the first and last battles and the state provided 126 infantry regiments, 26 batteries of artillery and 13 regiments of cavalry to the cause of the Union.[21] In 1861, Indiana was assigned a quota of 7,500 men to join the Union Army.[22] So many volunteered in the first call that thousands had to be turned away. Before the war ended, Indiana contributed 208,367 men to fight and serve in the war. Casualties were over 35% among these men: 24,416 lost their lives in the conflict and over 50,000 more were wounded.[23] The only Civil War battle fought in Indiana was the Battle of Corydon, which occurred during Morgan's Raid. The battle left 15 dead, 40 wounded, and 355 captured.[24] I have heard some people form Indiana make the same claim as you and they all tend desire and dream of the stereotypical "South"(that does still occur in some cases) yet your state in no way was part of the CSA.:hmmm: I think it stems from the burst of popularity of the KKK in Indiana back in the 1920s there where more KKK members in Indiana than any other state my guess is that the the Klan leaders had to make up some reason to justify showing up in Indiana(to scare away black people and Catholics)so they just said that Indiana was part of the south I am sure they meant in klan brotherhood but that got forgotten and taken literately by some residents of the Hoosier State or maybe they really dislike Ohio.Others likely came from southern states to work in auto factories the ones that stayed permanently just kept being what they where southern but that is not the entire states heritage. |
I think it was only a matter of time before folks started ganging up on those idiots. Not to condone the actions of that community, but frankly the WBC got what was coming to it. I don't know how big that town is but if it's a small town then it really was not the best place to go crapping on a hero's funeral. (That, and it's in Mississippi for cryin' out loud! Stupid is as stupid does. :O:)
