There's a line that goes a long way towards explaining a Rebel's contempt for Yankees. Aw, you're just sore losers. Nope. "Take what you need and leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best." The animosity stems from Reconstruction. Damn Carpetbaggers. Nowadays, s'more like a friendly rivalry.

And, the only time she ever heard her curse. Wow, talk about making a long story longer.
