In the meantime, the actual damnyanks and johnny rebs are all down at the pub somewhere, wondering what the heck is going on. Just as a matter of clarification, the "Joe Sixpack" nickname for Union soliders was "Billy Yank". Just thought I'd throw that in there. Granted, it never became as popular ...

The Civil War: <i>Glory</i> (I'm sure Stu would like it for the END...) Why, particularly? Because of all the dead black soldiers in the closing shot? I still haven't seen any reason Stu's automatically a racist simply because he's from the Deep South and believes in all the "war of Northern Agress...

Of course, that literature is more likely to have been written by individuals in better education and income brackets, which does tend to slant things as well. Bingo.

And for the record, I've been reading and thoroughly enjoying FAANS! for about six months now and lurking on these boards for about half that. That was my first post - this is my second - and I have also enjoyed the toing and froing y'all do here. Some sharp cookies it seems. As for my geek crediten...

Sorry for the length of this, but... As for laws disadvantageous to the south, to what laws are you referring?
