Up here in Montana we always get considered "Yankees"- but actually Montana was only a territory- and wasn't either Yankee or Reb....From the Montana history I've read, many of the population at that time (mostly gold miners) were sympathetic to the south--and were called Copperheads--which forced old Abe to send troops to the territory to protect the gold they needed to keep it from getting in the hands of the Confederacy....They were afraid the whole territory may declare itself with the Confederacy....
In fact many believe that several of those hung by the Vigilantes were actually Copperheads that were trying to steal/get gold for the south...
As strongly as I feel about states rights- and the Feds keeping their noses out of the states business, I probably would have been a Copperhead too if I'd lived back then...
This is a very interesting 30 page essay on the Civil War in Montana-- and how much the south/Confederacy had an influence in the state...

| The South won the war in Montana. Citizens of Virginia City celebrated the assassination of President Lincoln. All over Montana the Rebels enjoyed their ability to disrupt Sidney Edgerton's government. They outnumbered and outvoted him on all kinds of issues. They could turn out six hundred Democratic votes in towns of one hundred. They didn't need to flaunt their ability to flood the ballot boxes, they had the plurality anyway, but they loved to do it. |

| You're just hunting reasons here....you must REALLY want to be Southern REAL bad due to all these excuses here. |
Nope,..No desire to be southern...
It's just that after living around them, Damn North-Eastern liberal Yankees...I don't want to be one of them..
as for being southern,..Having lived there didn't make me that either..
South Dakota didn't have any part in the war...I never took sides (to young) so there for I never was a yankee... just a plain old Midwestern American.
So I go back to my original statement...
You should try to put up with them up here...
No matter how many move down to Florida,.. we still have plenty of them left..
(maybe red neck girl would come up and go out drinking)...
