Not to mention Antietam, Wilderness, stone's River, Shilo or Fort Donelson:D :D

Still have no idea what outback was referring to.

Don't let it worry you Tex, Outback probably had no idea either. :eek:
Is a yankee a bit like a pulley like a whan key?
Now I am confused...
Pete
Actually, I think "damn yankees" came from a Bugs Bunny cartoon, where Yosemite Sam was a confederate, with his bulldog with tiny back legs called Belvedere ("Oh Belvedere, come heah boy") and the beagle/bassett type dog was a yankee trying to replace Belvedere as the Plantation hound.:)
And here I am thinking they came from north of the Mason Dixon line.Quote:
