Foote, who made old Jeff out to be some kind of hero, would not have approved.

Why stop with the Confederacy? Let's take down the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial, too.  Dig up those Confederate traitors buried in Arlington, as well.

I thought they had already moved those rebs to the special confederate section of the cemetery, kind of like they use to bury those servile people of color in their own private faraway boneyard.

Should Confederate graves even be allowed to exist?  I mean, if seeing a watermelon can make you snap and shoot a bunch of innocent people, imagine what seeing a whole cemetery full of racist traitors might do.

He went to Carolina and hung out with Walker Percy.  He's ok in my book.

I like his dialect too woolly, although I think he might have put it on pretty thick for the civil war films.
I saw him speak when I was in college and I don't remember it being that pronounced.

You can learn it.  There will be an oral quiz next week.

Hell that ain't just Mississippi. My wife went to school down there for a short time, they made fun of us for sounding too country

now that's funny mudwall, but I actually met a guy a few years ago born & raised in Abingdon VA that had the same dialect.
I actually had asked wildmttrout if he knew of any distinct dialects from that area of VA.

Another great Civil War historian with an interesting dialect - this time of a lisp, but it's still the voice you could listen tell you a story for hours. Dr. Robertson is a true gentleman, taught my father at Virginia Tech and is one of the few remaining experts on the War.

I took an elective course with Dr. Robertson, long ago. Awesome class.
