I have literally never heard a Northerner gloat or even bring up in conversation the Civil war.
Southerners talk about it constantly. OP is projecting. |

Visit North Carolina's RetireNC program works to bring potential retirees to the state by promoting RetireNC.com and the North Carolina Certified Retirement Communities program. The program emphasizes North Carolina's assets that make it a top retirement destination. Visit North Carolina maintains the Certified Retirement Communities Program and helps those communities reach out to potential retirees and assist them in visiting the state to learn more about retirement opportunities. Certified Retirement Community Program In July 2008, the Legislature passed SB 1627, which created the North Carolina Certified Retirement Community program, to be administered by the North Carolina Department of Commerce. In July 2018, revisions were made by the General Assembly to enhance and continue the program in order to reach the program's goals of promoting North Carolina as a preferred retirement destination and encouraging the mature market to travel to our great state. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sherman left a bad taste in our mouths. He brought the war right to our front pourches. The famous Arlington house in Birmingham, Al was spared being burn down. Because Arlington was a northern sympathizer. The Arlington house stands today and sill intact and even has all the original antebellum furniture inside. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: When people say "Yankee" about anything, it confirms they are backwards and potentially retarded. No different than someone who believes they deserve reparations from slavery. I have lived all over the US and the only place that talks about the Civil War is the south, often within minutes of conversation. I live minutes away from Revolutionary War Battlefields and have never mentioned them to anyone, ever. Neither are part of my identity. Sherman left a bad taste in our mouths. He brought the war right to our front pourches. The famous Arlington house in Birmingham, Al was spared being burn down. Because Arlington was a northern sympathizer. The Arlington house stands today and sill intact and even has all the original antebellum furniture inside. That's what, 4-5 generations ago depending on your family? Any "bad taste" is artificial flavoring at this point. |

Every town square around me has a monument to those who died fighting in that war.
I like to reserve gloating about the Civil War as a mere garnish. Every winter there is a beautiful moment when 2 inches of frozen white Northern Aggression drops on Dixie. Then, as the beautiful chaos blossoms into a ballet of squealing tires and gyrating vehicles of all forms, my Schadenfreude turns white hot and I howl with laughter. Minivans in trees, children abandoned in the schools in Atlanta...is that picture of the highway of death in the withdrawal from Kuwait? No, that is just outside Durham, North Carolina. Only in the South can someone spin their tires so hard and for so long the ATF in their transmissions overheats, barfs out the fill tube and then ignites on the exhaust. Flames! Snow (well, slush)! OH THE HUMANITY! Then the interviews. The southern accents are all the more delicious when they are lamenting their certain fate of freezing to death (or starvation- nothing to eat is a mysteriously common complaint) after auguring their Honda into a ditch. The best part is common refrain: "The South doesn't get snow like this, so we don't have any reason to get the [fancy Yankee technology of your choice: plow trucks, salt, sand, snow tires, snow shovels, snow blowers, winter boots, winter coats, a fucking warm hat and gloves]. It just doesn't happen!" Except it does happen. Every fucking year, Johnny Rebs. And I am waiting, popcorn at the ready and I promise not to ruin this beautiful shit salad by over-seasoning it with gloat over the outcome of the Civil War.

Quote HistoryQuoted: People in PA will gloat about their connections to the Revolutionary war, not the civil war. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I've lived in PA my whole live and I can honestly say I have never heard anyone here gloating about the Civil War. In fact most people just don't talk about it at all. Many of us don't have family connections to it, lot of our families came over from Europe in the period after the Civil War but before WWII. So I do hear lots of talk about WWII, especially since many folks my age had grandparents who fought in it. I find it very interesting personally from a strategy, military, and humanitarian perspective to study. But I also find it very sad that it happened and that so many men lost their lives. It needs to be taught and studied for eternity to ensure we as a country prevent something like that from ever happening here again. Just because we happen to live in the North, I would not characterize most of us as gloating about it. People in PA will gloat about their connections to the Revolutionary war, not the civil war. yep |

Why are yankees always gloating about the Civil War? I don't know. Why do black always complain about slavery that ended 165 years ago. No one alive today was a slave back then. No one alive today has 1st-hand knowledge of what slaves did or went through back then. No one alive today owned salves back then. No one alive today has 1st-hand knowledge of what it was like being a slave owner. Slavery happened. You can't deny it. You can't run from it. And you can't force people to forget it. You can try, but you'll fail. And if their treatment back then reflects upon on how you act today, then you're sorely out of touch with reality. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yankee means upper east coast, not north. Too many people f that up. I agree that only southerners stay stuck talking about the civil war. This merely touches on the broader topic, as the "I wrap my whole self-identity around, and view the world through a filter based on "the war" crowd defines "yankee" as anyone who is not them, and uses it as a pejorative. This confuses normal people not wrapped up into their ideology. One of many hallmarks of ideological possession is the use of private definitions, often with terminology that makes zero sense in larger contexts. But, the definitions serve the purpose of advancing and perpetuating the victim mentality. The term, "African American" is another great example, and that one's codified into law. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have literally never heard a Northerner gloat or even bring up in conversation the Civil war. Southerners talk about it constantly. OP is projecting. Well, I was raised in the north, growing up in Michigan. My family had been "Northerners" (i.e., Yankees) for generations, with my GrGrGrandfather serving as a Union soldier and participating in "Sherman's March to the Sea"----then, after the warm naming his next born son (my GrGrandfather) Sherman, after the General of the same moniker. All that being said, my Grandfather----who never knew his GrGrGrandfather----always said that if he had known him, he would have "kicked him in the ass," for he fought for the wrong side. Take solace in that OP...... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Gaslighting, Southerners have had a long tradition of bullshitting themselves into making a big deal out of losing the Civil War with grace. Not to mention sore losers at that because of Jim Crow laws which is ironic. I don't see people waving union flags at Yankee events like the Confederate South will rise again types. Whats ironic is the amount of Rebel Flags you see flying where I live….not rear windows of pickup trucks…..I mean people displaying the Confederate flag in front of their homes usually right next to the American flag Guess where?

Grew up in PA, my military career has taken me to SC, FL, AL, LA, TX, AK...
My experiences mirror many on this thread--a select few Southerners are butt hurt over event in the late 1800s. I'll say this, I love where I grew up...but they can't hold a candle to food options in the South. EDIT: I've noticed in places like SC, TX and FL. The people with 'NATIVE' stickers on their truck/heap, tend to drive like the biggest assholes. If I've just described you, I want to thank you for self-identifying and making it easier to keep up my situational awareness. |
