I always wondered how a Canuck like yourself became such a pro Confederate? I would think that someone like yourself would have left the Great White North many moons ago.
Alas circuмstances in life have dictated I must remain where I am.
I used to play North vs South as a kid. I read what books I could and did not manage to get a Yankee bias. Plus the Confederate flag was more prominent here in Alberta. I did watch a bit of the Dukes of Hazzard but that was not influential in any real sense.The older I got and the more I read the real facts behind the War of Northern Aggression, the more I became fascinated with the South. My first visit to the South - Mississippi - felt almost like a homecoming. I had a huge welcoming committee, as it were, when I got off the plane. I truly felt at home, as much as visiting actual relatives.
So I keep alive a part of the South - alongside same-friends - up here in the near Arctic of northern Alberta. And it has been a very few days with goodly amounts of snow.
Good times there are not forgotten, look away, look away look away Dixieland
