It's ok, Us southern boys don't get upset because when the civil war broke out, we thought the Yanks were after our whiskey and our women. As soon as we learned what you really wanted, we just quit and went home.
And then the African country of Liberia was born. Mostly autonomous until someone discovered gold there.

Liberia came first.

Liberia founded in 1820. 41 years before the US civil war.

Civil war 1861-1865

Moving a torpedo on a highway.

Clever, they will never suspect that.

Federicksburg was another act of yankee aggression, we didn't attack, you invaded....

I am not from up north.

Really I dont care about the whole North/South thing it is a great example of how a major issue was never resolved effectively and weak compromise after weak compromise lead to a war.

I see a lot of guys down here in Florida wearing those "Dixie Outfitters" clothes so I asked once this man that was wearing one of their shirts.Where did his family come from.Answer Massachusetts.

Honestly people from different regions of the US have good qualities people that I met from New York(the state) Mass,Pennsylvania they are pretty good honest workers.

The stuff I say about north/south is just banter we used to do it a lot in the military at least the units I was in we did just BS really.Pick on each others words soda,pop,cola.

Let's pick on the paranoid delusional person who thought a vintage submarine replica was a torpedo, instead of each other.

I still say it looks like a barbecue/smoker.
