("The war generally doesn't evoke the same public interest in the North,
Midwest and the West as it does in the defeated South, where most of the
battles were fought and the land was devastated. For generations, whites in
the region also migrated less frequently than those in the North—where
immigrants with no ties to the Civil War flooded industrialized cities—so
more people retained a family connection to those who fought")
Note:
(a) Virginia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia
(The state nickname is its oldest symbol, though it has never been made
official by law. Virginia was given the title "Dominion" by King Charles II
of England at the time of The Restoration, because it had remained loyal to
the crown during the English Civil War, and the present moniker, "Old
Dominion" is a reference to that title.)
(b) The crack in "crack fighters" (adj): "of superior excellence or ability
"
(c) Tar Heel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_Heel
(The term "Tar Heel" gained popularity during the Civil War) |
