Yankee comes from the American Revolutionary War. People who lived in states that supported the revolution were called yankies or somethign along that line. If I wasnt more tired I'd remebermore of it.

Dixie comes from the American Civil War. Dixie being a term used for that states that seceded from the confederate states.

What? I could have sworn the Confederate States were the states that seceeded from the union.

Yankie = Northern
Dixie = Southern

Guess I'll have to Wikipedia everything since I have absolutely no knowledge in USA history.

You're right. Im tired. Yankie doesnt include all northeners considering it was a term made before/during the revolutionary war. Fun Fact: New York was NOT a Yankee state.

[COLOR="blue"]Though, the few people that still use the word ''Yankee'' seem to use it as a general term for northerners.

Also, I have to ask: Does anyone actually use the word Dixie? The only time I've ever heard it used was when it's a name of paper-ware, or a monkey in a Donkey Kong game. These words are like, what you'd expect to hear from some stereotypical ''deep south'' movie or something.[/COLOR]

And by Yankee, pretty sure they mean New Englander in this context.
