Re: The good citizens of Georgia

So let's keep the "I'm gonna whip your ass" and "Rebs Rule, Yanks Drool" type of remarks off of this thread. We've all been joking around in a light hearted manner. Double P, Carrie, ET, etc have posted some very good sources and I don't want to see a good thread go off topic. That is why there are other forums for this very subject.

This is my pre emptive SIMMER DOWN

For your reading pleasure ...

East Tennessee and the Civil War, page 336, second paragraph

I have also heard this as "One Southerner can whip twenty Yankees".

I had not seen that quotation before, Thanks for finding it Joe

Pete and all,
It doesn't look like we are supposed to continue any discussion along these lines. If I have gotten "off topic" or offended anyone with posting something that may not be a cold, hard verifiable fact then please accept my apologies.
