You dare sully the good name of Jefferson Davis?!?
Suhs and/or Madams, I respectfully concede that I lack the benefit of a northern public school education, but it is my recollection that the Andrew Jackson mentioned in the article was the seventh president of the United States and passed away some years before the Civil War was fought. But I am happy to see that we all appear to agree that prejudice, whether racial or regional, is truly born of ignorance. I have generally found the people of the south to be warm-hearted and friendly, although they are capable of sarcasm. Perhaps you will consider a historic tour of the region during your next vacation. We will even let you see the Stanley Cup. Thanks, y’all.
