92% Dixie. After living here 5 years my vernicular has changed. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

71% Dixie. Born, bred and educated in Indiana. For a few of them, I chose the response that is specific to Indiana. Good to know that I fit in here.

35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
Born in Massachusetts but raised all over the world...settled in Illinois. I guess it's fairly accurate.

40%. It thinks I am a yankee. I am really a mountain girl.
To me, (please take this with a grain of salt ), this is an example of the stereotypical Easterner's perspective that there are 4 regions in the US. The North, the South, the Midwest (which really has nothing to do with the middle, or the west if you look at a map), and California. Hmm, there's a lot of ignored land in this scenario, and I am from that region. I realize the quiz is just for fun, but to call me a yankee is quite ridiculous!
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

99% Dixie on both the basic and advanced tests.
Gen'l Lee ain't my granddaddy, but Vice President Stephens is my first cousin, five times removed.

I've lived just 4 miles north of the extended Mason-Dixon line for about 7 years now.
born in Alabama, family is from South Alabama, West Florida and East Georgia. After graduating from The University of Alabama we moved to Tennesse.

At Legion Field in B'ham? The day that Bear Bryant passed away was probably a bigger deal that Kennedy. Mr. was at Bama then.

Deep, deep South; you should come up for air.
100% Dixie.
Is General Lee your grandfather?!- close- ditto what Pscyclepath said about VP Stephens . . .
What I really want to know is what did he get wrong to not get a 100?
Gee, that's the first time in 44 years that I outscored my brother on a test!
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Yankees- abroad it means folks from the United States- here in the states it means the folks that wore dark blue in what we Mississippians like to call the Recent Unpleasantness- more commonly refered to as the Civil War (1861-65).
Pscyclepath can tell you a lot more about it- he's the family historian & a Civil War re-enactor.
