The south wanted slavery
the north didn't savory
War was declared
the bombs and guns flared
Very few soldiers were spared
war the whole country shared
The north fared
after the smoke cleared
The north wanted Obama
the south called him Osama
The election proceeded
Obama got the votes needed
The south lost again
because Obama did win
Even some of the south
liked Obama'a mouth
They did a Judas Jesus
hoping also that Obama
would please us
Rest of the southern haters
will continue to tease us
The war between the states
won this time at the
voting booth gates

Gem, having lived much of my life both north and south,
I hope at last we can drive a nail in that damn civil
war coffin. As the kids say: USA USA USA. -gene.
Very interesting comparison between "then and now". The north has won the battle, now let's see who wins the war.

I sure am no expert on The South even though their attitudes are all around me here, but I have (after 13 years living here) some hazy impressions. "The South will rise again" is heard less now than it was a few years ago, just like the KKK has become very quiet since 9-1-1 and the Patriot Act became a force in our lives. But the attitudes remain strong, especially in the old people (who are going away on the obituary pages) -- but the kids seem to be kicking all that garbage to the curb now that Inter-networking has taken the place of back-yard gossip. Even in the red states which McCain won, there still was a fair showing of votes for Obama -- times are changing even where rednecks used to rule. Basically, people are tired of hatefullness, tired of the politics of fear, and (even here) I am seeing a growing trend of people reaching out to each other across all kinds of "barriers" -- and this is a good thing.
325 letters my father wrote to my mother during his time in World War II.
Woven together in a timeline of events of three of his brothers, 5 brothers-in-law, and one cousin, all 10 of them were in WWII at the same time.
