First we have to ask who are the Yankees? The term Yankee is relative depending on where you are: Like it or not johnny reb, if you go abroad you will be considered a Yankee. To anyone outside the US we're all Yankees. to someone from below the Mason Dixon line a Yankee is someone from the north. to someone from the north a Yankee is someone from New England to someone from New England a Yankee is someone from Maine. To people in Maine a Yankee is someone who has pie with breakfast. Don't get me wrong I live in the south and sometimes get frustrated when the road is all full with yank-mes in winter, but when they're not driving slow in front of me when I'm late they're generally OK

Listen Rebel without a good cause...
Be clear on exactly "What" you are rebelling against.
This "Yankee" was an Abolitionist a Rebel and . He rebelled against people that wanted slavery.
John Brown has been called "the most controversial of all nineteenth-century Americans."[20] His attempt to start a slave rebellion in 1859 electrified the nation. Uniquely among the Garrisonians, he resorted to violence. Most historians depict Brown as a bloodthirsty zealot and madman who briefly stepped into history but did little to influence it. Some scholars, however, glorify Brown, giving him credit for starting the Civil War and arguing "it is misleading to identify Brown with modern terrorists." [21]
John Brown started his fight against slavery in Kansas. Border Ruffians used bowie knives and vote fraud to establish a pro-slavery government at Lecompton. There was Border Ruffian violence in Lawrence, Kansas. And Border Ruffians kidnapped and killed six Free-State men. So Brown and his band killed five pro-slavery people at Pottawatomie Creek, Kansas.
His famous raid in October, 1859, involved a band of 22 men who seized the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, knowing it contained tens of thousands of weapons. Brown, like his Boston supporters, believed that the South was on the verge of a gigantic slave uprising and that one spark would set it off. Brown's raid, says historian David Potter, "was meant to be of vast magnitude and to produce a revolutionary slave uprising throughout the South." The raid was a fiasco. Not a single slave revolted. Instead Brown was quickly captured, tried for treason (against the state of Virginia) and hanged. At his trial Brown exuded a remarkable strength of character that impressed Southerners, even as they feared he might be right about an impending slave revolt. Shortly before his execution, Brown prophesied, "the crimes of this guilty land : will never be purged away; but with Blood

Do you mean the baseball team...-If so I am a fan. If you mean a New Yorker...I was born in NYS. -Am I a Yankee?-I and my ancestors didn't have anything to do with the Civil War.

Don't set the south back 150 years or we'll have to go down there and kick your @ss again.
There are no more rebels. They never did rule.

I think that the Yankee's motto is this:
If you beat us, we'll buy you.
The only reason they are so good is because George S has tons of money so he can recruit good players.
Who agrees with me?
