[quote=Johnny Yuma;5841605]     They were amongst the best yankee fighters also...to be sure, far more formidable than those girls from Maine.   Yeah, I don't think any of the Johnny Rebs were looking forward to crossing paths with that crazy bastard Custer and his famed Michigan Brigade aka the Wolverines:D I have an ancestor who served with them.   http://bcm.bc.edu/wp-content/images/...rs-field-1.jpg         I guess if you were to visit my home state of FLorida and listen to some of the rhetoric we endure, maybe you'd understand why it is we feel led to blabber so much.    Yeah, I guess, the anti Northern comments I see on here just really get to me sometime, of course it's no surprise on a thread about the CSA, but I see them all the time on other threads too.  I actually have some Southern ancestry from my Father's side of the family anyways. My great Grandpa was originally from the swamps of Florida;) and another set of my great Grandparents were originally from East Tennessee:D They all came up North to work in the factories. I have a few Confederate soldiers in the family tree also. So I guess that kind of disqualifies me from bona fide Yankee status anyways.:cool:
