My mother's fought for the South, and owned slaves, two of whom followed them to Texas after the war.
Family on my mother's side still call me a "Yankee," which is right, because I was raised in the North
and would fight on the Union side should they try succession again.
That's actually a pretty neat tidbit of family history.
