Hm... seems to have disappeared. Anyway, Wikipedia:Academic_use -LlywelynII (talk) 10:43, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Map is wrong

The map is wrong. Missouri, Kentucky and West Virginia were not rebel states, though they could not be said to be Billy Yanks. And Oklahoma as Indian Territory fought for the CSA. The other territories all supported the Union except for New Mexico Territory (Arizona and New Mexico) which was divided in loyalty. Also, Maryland and Delaware fought on the Union side but were not considered Billy Yanks.

A more correct map would show Arizona, New Mexico, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware as neutral. Oklahoma as pink. And all the other states not already red or blue as light blue. And that still wouldn't be accurate. Missouri and Kentucky should probably be purple. It's almost silly to try to make a map of it without a better article to explain the map. Halfelven (talk) 13:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

A more correct map would simply show Yankeeland (ie, the New England and Mid-Atlantic states, but not West Virginia, Ohio, etc.) It was a cultural distinction, not so much a political one. And even then, even a Tennessean or Texan in a Union uniform would still be a Billy Yank. -LlywelynII (talk) 10:37, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Comic Section

Needs its own article and a link or more fleshing out: documentation, titles, storyline, etc. He's certainly not a major character in the DC Universe. Was this from a one-shot historical miniseries? -LlywelynII (talk) 10:37, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
