61% (Dixie) Just below the Mason-Dixon line. Seeing as how I'm from South Carolina, I reckon all those years in the Navy rubbing shoulders with yankees has rubbed off something on me.

True. I feel rather confident that Houston was anti-Slavery. I don't really know how he felt about succession. Just the opposite. He was a slave owner, but was strongly against Texas secession, and said so loudly --- as Texas governor in 1861, he refused to take a loyalty oath to the Confederate government, and as a result was impeached by the fire-eaters in the legislature. He predicted, accurately, that slavery, the South, and Texas, would be destroyed in a war with the North.

73% (Dixie). You are a solid Southerner!
Yeeeehaaaawwww ... damn straight.
Ain't it great bein' Southern?
To: SwinneySwitch
Don't worry, I've taken this test before and it's completely bogus.
Example: How do you pronounce route?
The site claim that "rhymes with clout" is strongly biased Northeast, which is completely wrong. Anyone in the Boston area knows it's "root".
To: SwinneySwitch
86% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors? Hell yeah! Both sides of the family.
Yee Haw!

50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Yikes!!! How'd this happen? The farthest north I've ever been is Wyoming- and that was for only a short time when I was a tot. I've never been east of Houston, or west of Vegas. Quick, fellow southerners, what do I have to do for penance? Stand out in the street with the Stars and Bars? Sing Dixie? Help!!!:)

To: beeler
He was anti- secession and was forced out of his role as governor of Texas in the early 1860's. Does that make up for me being 50% Yankee?

What's weird is that he owned slaves but opposed the expansion of slavery and the Confederacy. Yet more evidence that the issues inspiring the War of Northern Aggression were much more complicated than is commonly taught or thought.

Allow me to correct you. Sam Houston OWNED slaves and didn't have a problem with it. He was anti-secession.

Yet more evidence that the issues inspiring the War of Northern Aggression were much more complicated than is commonly taught or thought. Actually, that attitude was pretty common. Many slave owners had no problem with restricting expansion. Just as many Free Soilers were content with slavery where it already existed. But as with many things political, the most radical set the agenda and through their rhetoric, the situation got beyond the control of more moderate voices like Houston's.
It is difficult for us to appreciate how divisive the Kansas-Nebraska Act was.

On my dad's side, my grandma was from the Knoxville, TN area and my grandpa was from down close to Houston, TX. My mom's parents were from Iowa. I was born 11 miles from the TX/NM border, but now I live close to the NM/AZ border in north west NM.
