Barely Dixie... guess that's OK since I'm a Westerner!

My Confederate ancestors came West.

46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Ok?! How do you figure that for a born and bread Wisconsinite? What a crazy quiz! But I loved it! Thanks Shane.

Oh and by the way, it's soda and bubblers around here, and we TP houses!

57% Dixie, barely into the Dixie catagory.

I always figured Ohio was a middlin' State.

83 per cent here and I have three Union ancestors, admittedly the most northern location for any of them was Sullivan County, Tennessee. Maybe that's why the folks in Alabama and Mississippi can all understand me? I still like you yankees, however. Thanks for allowing me on the board.
