Dear Nalora: You do so well in explaining all you put on the list. Think about this. Most of my family were on the Union side of that terrible Civil war. Some were on the side of the Confederates. I don't understand why that's still such a sore point with those in families who were Confederates. How many years has that war been over? How many men, on both sides, died? It's over, done, and it seems to me, there is no reason for people to still be so upset about it! Both sides lost good men, some being against their own families because of how they believed! Where I live in CA some Confederate flags fly from poles people have put up in their yards. That's okay. They want others to know their ancestors fought on that side. Being able to express ones opinion is the American way. Don't get me started on the political correctness stuff we've been having to put up with. I'd like to meet the person who started that noise! I'll get off my soap box now and go on to other things. Best, Sandi :)

We could go on forever about the "Intruder" and the "Yankee". From where I live, Northeast is Tenn./N.C. Hardly Yankees! And the Intruders? Well, they really speak for themselves....they did not "belong" there under the rules set forth at that particular time in history. Some of their ancestors formed the Wantabe Tribe in I.T.
