being born in a southron state does NOT make one wonderful;neither does being northernborn make you a damnyankee.
as an example, wee willie was born in AR, but his outlook is scalawag and/or damnyankee. on the other hand, COL Quantrell, late of the 4th MO Partisan Rangers was born in NYC;no finer CSA guerrilla commander ever drew breath.
a place of birth in the southland no more makes you a dixie patriot than it makes you a Methodist.
free the southland,sw
