Closer to our time, in the comments from 2017 we have this:
> I live in General Sherman’s birthplace: Lancaster, Ohio. I learned quite some years ago not to tell anyone in the South where I was from, unless I prefaced it with the fact that I was born in Kentucky.
- AlbertCory 3y agoThere's actually an old documentary you might like: Sherman's March the filmmaker retraces Sherman's march through Georgia, with a camera on his shoulder as he interacts with people who live there now.
- hindsightbias 3y agoI just remind them of their "Party of Lincoln!" credo.
- scruple 3y agoI grew up not far from Lancaster, a little further to the southern border with WV. My family came from southwestern PA and that's where I was born. My uncle married a southern woman (from the hills of northern GA) and her and my cousins really had a big problem with where we lived. They probably still do, we wouldn't know because we haven't spoken to them since my uncle died. There are some very deeply embedded feelings that remain in the south about "the war" and it can be a real jolt to be confronted with them.
- unethical_ban 3y agoThat's wild. It's actually shocking to hear that.
- WeylandYutani 3y agoI think the civil war is what made America what it is today. One capital, one government and one army.
