Interesting thread!
I had heard of the War of Northern Aggression, but never the War of Southern Insurrection. I like that different viewpoint.
As for my heritage...no pedigree here. With a paternal surname of Marlow, and maternal surname of Taylor, I kind of feel both side of the equation were of Brit descent. Add in a little Cherokee and a whole lot of bastard child and here I am.
By the way, it appears the Yanks and Rebs are pretty evenly matched up, but those west of the Mississippi boys and espcially the Texans are really making a show.
But you know what they say when those Texans move in the neighborhood.....
