50% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

Proud to be an Appalachian Yankee. General William Tecumseh Sherman was born about a mile from my home.

18% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

Of course, when my ancestors had had enough of old world divisiveness, they rejected the yankees and dixies to become canucks.

Thanks Dare, even in England word has got to us about about Yankees and Rebels - it's the Dandy Doodle bit that has me flumoxed. I thought it was only Mickey Rooney who was a New York (Yankee) Doodle Dandy :D

I never really never knew what it was either John


Yankee Doodle
Why did yankee doodle stick a feather in his hat and call it macaroni? Back in Pre-Revolutionary America when the song "Yankee Doodle" was first popular, the singer was not referring to the pasta "macaroni" in the line that reads "stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni". "Macaroni" was a fancy ("dandy") style of Italian dress widely imitated in England at the time. By sticking a feather in his cap and calling himself a "dandy," Yankee Doodle was proudly proclaiming himself to be a gentleman of some social standing.

Yankee Doodle Dandy was a song by George M. Cohan. Here's Jimmy Cagney, as Cohan, in the bio-pic Yankee Doodle Dandy.



Sorry for the poor video & sound.
