Well...I got some personal experience of my own. Big parties at the in-laws in North Fulton, with all their local friends from the stable where they kept their Morgan. Get a few drinks in the crowd, they forget there may be a Yankee or two or even worse, a liberal or two in their midst, and all sorts of interesting (and often nauseating) stuff comes rolling out.
I thought the best was the persistent denial that the old Charleston City Market was... "NEVER A SLAVE MARKET!!!!!"
