confederate and Union (Yankee) tartans

[ForresterModern]

Borderer family in Scotland, border family during the War, tucked away in the newly minted West Virginia hills, I cannot find any reference of my paternal line's involvement in the War, although being just a ridge or two west of the Shenandoah suggests some involvement.
Where I come from, anybody who pronounces the word beginning with s (synonym for manure) as only a single syllable word was considered a Yankee. A true southerner can make it three syllables with ease.

Even after 40 years in California my pronouncing "pig" with three syllables always makes it clear that I'm not from around here! (Something like "pee-uh-ig")

Accent notwithstanding, my direct ancestors all fought for the North (7th West Virginia Cavalry). Only a pair of distant uncles were "mossbacks".
