I'm a native New Englander and I'm proud as hell of the 20th Maine, the 54th Massachusetts, the 69th New York. And those from Pawtuxet village on June 9th 1772. Tell me again why I have to be from Virginia to be a real American.

If you're speaking of the American Civil War, it was in the 1860's, which is not 200 years ago. The fact that we are still talking about it shows how momentous it was. And remember, this war was recent enough that my grandfather told me stories about it that he got from his grandfather who was there. There were people alive during the 1960's Civil rights era who were born slaves. We need to keep talking about it, because it's important. We may disagree about it, but God help us if we forget it.

I would also add that, with the exception of Delaware, portions of the states you mention had strong southern sympathies and are not really representative of the north. (Delaware had a strong abolition movement, especially in areas where Quakers had settled, and voluntary emancipation made slavery rare, if legal, in those areas.) It is significant that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't affect those states. And we are probably both asses for trying to talk about history in soundbytes. :)

"Frontier" is a relative term; referring to newly settled areas. It kept moving west. During the late colonial and early republic, it was the Appalachian and Allegheny mountains; by the late 1800s it was the western US. It was often poorer folks and recent immigrants who settled on the frontier, because land in the east was filled up. The Whiskey Rebellion was in the 1790s on the frontier in western Pennsylvania (which became part of the north, not the south, by the way!)

My cousin is in the NYPD. He has a tattoo. It's the Irish Harp with the number 2021. I asked him what it was and he says '2021 recipients of the Medal Of Honour are Irish'. Let that sink in. Maybe remember that next time you complain about St. Patricks Day.

The quote I referenced: "The circumstances of the world are continually changing, and the opinions of men change also; and as government is for the living, and not for the dead, it is the living only that has any right in it. That which may be thought right and found convenient in one age, may be thought wrong and found inconvenient in another. In such cases, who is to decide, the living, or the dead?"

I do research on the abolition movement, thanks. I should have added the qualfier that slavery was "generally" illegal, but I was answering a very general question, which is why I suggested he read more. My point was that while making either side the "good guys" is problematic, and war is almost always about economics, the movement for abolition was an important part of the picture.

You don't seem to have heard the words - it's about Irish fighting with the 20th Maine, a northern unit. But while you describe general patterns, there were Irish Catholics in the south. In any case, it is based on a novel, as Earle clearly says. To Setzer - I agree we ignore nativism in the 19th C, but he can't fit it all into one song. My guess is that Earle is quite aware of that history, as he has a strong interest in history. He has written about immigration today (CIty of Immigrants.)

If you have that many plantation owners in your ancestry, then you must Black blood in you ( By the the way that's cool with me. I do not care people are people, and we all have red blood.) somewhere, Because it is a fact that the plantation owners, let us say did enjoy the company of black women. Like it or not, that's just the way it is, and was.

I never said the war was soley about slavery. I never said there was anything wrong with being from the South. But as soon as I said I was proud to be from New England you ran your mouth. Remember that. Seems to me you were itching for a fight. I agree with most of your points. You just couldn't pass up an opportunity to take a shot at a Northerner. And whether you want to admit it or not, a lot of Union soldiers did fight and die to free the slaves.

Please don't assume that Cope, Ted and Warrior represent all white southerners. As a white woman, I have lived in two southern states, and find it easy (if not easier) to meet great Black friends in the south than in the north. Painting all people of one race with a single brush is the essence of racism, so I would suggest that perhaps you are racist.

NCBoy...I am interested. Please describe your "haritage." Many will fight and die for families and homes (and the liberty you imply in the third sentence), however I am not sure what you mean by heritage. Also, why do you use "we" to describe your family's views about slavery. You were born much to late to take part in that particular discussion. "They" would be a more appropriate pronoun. To paraphrase Tom Paine: tradition/heritage is the tyranny of the dead over the living.

There are N/S differences, but US history is complex - a patchwork of ethnic and cultural groups immigrating at different times. I suggest you read some US history before defending the south as the underdog! Zinns A Peoples History of the US, is a good underdog perspecitve. The north did not have clean hands, in the slave trade or after the Civil War. Yet the south was defending a feudal system that you might want to criticize in the English. The poor were most of the dead on either side.
