When I worked in Tennessee they teased me about being a Yankee, I informed them we didn't have Rebels and Yankees up North, we had winners and losers, then asked them which one they were? Both daughters were born in the South, then we moved to Wisconsin. The oldest Daughter had a bit of fun with her teachers when they got to Civil War history. She would inform the teacher it wasn't the Civil war "cause that happened in 1776" and that they were now discussing the "war betwixt the states" or the "War of Northern aggression" then would proceed to correct the teacher when the presentation of facts had a northern bias. Some of the teachers did take it well and she was able to bring up some finer points that the text and course of study didn't discuss, like when did Lincoln free the slaves in Maryland? (He didn't, the emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in states that where in revolt). Why wasn't the Emancipation Proclamation unlawful seizure of property? It was deemed constitutional because it only freed slaves in the states that were in rebellion and was justified because the slave labor was being used to provide aid and support to the confederate forces so it was justifiable as a military necessity . Of course this is the child that also got sent to the office for "sassing" a substitute teacher (when asked a question she replied "no Maa'm") took a few of the other teachers to explain she'd started her Education in the public school system in Tennessee and she was the daughter and grand daughter of military officers.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
