Those of us in California are neither thin blooded yankees nor thick speached southerners. We're just Americans.

Of, if you believe a southern friend of mine, 'weirdos'.

LoL I had a friend who grew up in the south tell me, when I was going to go to mississippi to buy a car, to lie and tell EVERYONE I was a texan. He said if they found out I was from Cali they would hate me and the cops my harrass me.

LOL he was not joking about it. Or he says he wasnt. I never went to find out though.

Transplanted Yankee with a Southern Belle Grandma. How's that for a weird combination.

Ohio Yankee here. Even our Columbus NHL team is called the Blue Jackets.

My Great-Great-Grandfather fought in the 34th PA Infantry, Company I, and took a round in the thigh at the battle of Wilderness, VA.

"Yankee" and "thin blooded" in the same sentence is way off. I had snow on my porch this morning.

I would have fought to preserve the integrity of the Union.

So even though I am not of either Northern or Southern state heritage, I consider myself a Yank.

Yankee (NY and RI)! Although I don't know anyone, including myself, who uses that term to describe themselves other than discussing North-South/Civil war issues.

Where does W. Virginia fit in the mix? As far as I know, it was the Union loyalists region of old Virginia that broke off to form a seperate state after the war.
