| | | | (...) The formal meaning of Dixie would either be those states south of the Mason Dixon line, or alternatively, those states that attempted to secede during the War between the States. Whether DixieLUG really includes all of Virginia, North (...) (25 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.org.us.dixielug, lugnet.org.us.gmlug)

| | | | | At the start of the war Kentucky sought to remain neutral; in September 1861 Confederate troops invaded Kentucky, leading to Kentuckians enlisting overwhelmingly in the Union cause. I don't know if I'd call a Kentuckian a Yankee though, I guess it (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-00, to lugnet.org.us.dixielug, lugnet.org.us.gmlug)
