Any time you hear that phrase unironically, ask what war that is, and then go “oh you mean the Rebellion of Southern Cowards? That’s the only way I’ve heard it phrased other than civil war”
I may not be a descendant of William Tecumseh Sherman, but I grew up in the same area, and maybe it’s just something about the water or the geography but I really feel an urge for Southern BBQ and a brisk walk to the ocean when Southern Cowards start speaking up again.
And yet despite that, I would say that the two best things from the South were invented by black people- the music, from blues to jazz to rock and roll and soul food. Not the best revenge, but still some good revenge. A hell of a lot more people listen to rock music than listen to music invented by white people.
It is, but not very often outside of the American south. (They prefer “The War of Northern Aggression” though.)
