Hi all, I was at the Chickamauga/Chattanooga Battlefield and on Lookout Mountain a few years ago. While visiting there I learned that Orchard Knob where Grant was is no longer there. I don't know what is there now. Slomoe
Really!!!!!!!!!! It's nice when an uneducated Yankee sums up an entire way of life, and the entire SouthEastern United States with the words "sad reliance and bigotry".
First of all, we all settled from mostly Europe and surrounding countries to what is now The United States. Yankees are, and have always been greedy, and in fact were the ones who pulled the Africans from their homeland to make money, free labor, and barter/trade from them. Most of the stronger settlers and descendants of Europe came through the coast Of Georgia, North and South Carolina, etc to settle the beautiful and graceful South. The North has always been bitter, barren, and greedy. Ready to suck up any and all natural resources. Once they wreck their economy, e.g.-Detroit and others, get tired of the extremely horrible winters, etc they migrate to the South infecting it's pureness with their Northern accents, bad habits, crime, poverty, criminal records, bad driving, little to no disregard for nature or land. I could go on and on. They say the heat, humidity, economy, crime, living arrangements, and God forbid our terrible unspeakable history is almost unbearable to them yet "The South" is the first place they run too.
