A Union chaplain, in the 50th Pennsylvania V. V., noted a black woman in a church service after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. "She said, in a loud voice, "An Lor, bless de damned yankees!" It became apparent that she had heard her master use the the modified word yankee so much, she wanted to make sure the Lord knew who she wanted blessed."
