==Military==
Large numbers of Southerners have served in the U.S. military. During the Civil War, southerners did not volunteer in large enough numbers to match the military needs of the south. Approximately twenty percent of all Confederate soldiers were, therefore, draftees (compared to eight percent in the Union armies), and they were subject to “compulsory reenlistment.”<ref>Tinadall & Shi, ''America: A Narrative History'', 7th ed.(New York Norton, 2007):616-618.</ref>

==The South in humor==
''A Southerner steps out of a [[London]] pub and a local Brit asks him for a fag. So the Southerner hit him. A London cop intervenes, and the Brit says, "All I did was ask him for a fag." The Southerner says, "In my country a fag is a queer." The Brit says, "Oh, you're a Yank." So the Southern hit him again. ''
