Would you like to ask someone from the U.S. South a question? Would you like to know what it's like to live here? What's it like to be a liberal in a conservative environment? Fire away!
U2democrat said:I can also help out answering these questions, if you don't mind Verte...though you're more deep south. I'm up here in the capital of the Confederacy The heart of stars and bars country
I have a question for you though...do you know if any of your relatives fought for the Confederacy?

Yes. One of my great-grandfathers was a Captain in the Confederate Army. He had the loyalty of everyone in the family until my mother grew up and started questioning the whole thing. None of my siblings or myself were impressed with the guy. We think the Confederacy was one big treasonous adventure.

Interesting...one of my great-grandfathers was also a captain in the Confederate army. I had a lot of relatives who fought for the south.

Do utes with confederate flags really exist, and do rednecks actually hoon around with guns while riding in them?
If you're thinking my questions are horrible stereotypes, they are. I'm really keen to know what is true (or has elements of truth at least) and what is just bogus.

but it will kill you.
and NOVA -- northern vriginia -- might as well be new jersey. i never hear southern accents.
yolland said:Also, I wanted to ask U2dem...are you planning on attending any of the Jamestown Quadricentennial stuff scheduled for this summer? I haven't seen much about it in the papers, although I'd imagine it's in the papers out there a good deal...
