My ancestors fought on the side of the South in the "War of Northern Aggression". I was always proud of my heritage and always enjoyed reading about the Southern victories and their generals in the Civil War. But Southerners owe a lot to the Yankies. Look at what is happening today in Southern Africa. That would have been the fate of the South. But, alas, with the invasion from Mexico that might be our fate in the not to distant future anyway with blacks and Mexicans ruling and whites as the minority. But we owe the North some good decades of prosperity. And they got Detroit.
