'Must admit that I could have answered some according to other areas I've lived in.
It was fun.

68% under The Mason-Dixon Line; maybe that's why I settled in KY.
I was born a Tarheel, my father was a N.C. native, my mom was from Brooklyn, N.Y. (Maybe that's why, I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!)  :shock:

That was fun and I'm 49% Yankee.  I wonder what my great, great granddad would think of that as he was an officer in the Pennsylvania Calvary.  Maybe my problem is that I'm just about 20 miles across the river from West Virginia.

The survey was fun to take........89% Dixie.......I knew that. Asked me if I still use confederate money. (haha) Must have been a yank in the woodpile back in the day. Don't use it, but do have some Confederate cash on hand.......Just in case!

According to Thomas Dilorenzo here, I would certainly hope not to be a Yankee:

 

Being born and raised in Pennsylvania, I am a northerner but not a Yankee. The same is true of my friend Lew Rockwell, a native of Massachusetts who would qualify for membership in Sons of Union Veterans. The word "Yankee" gained popularity in the early to mid nineteenth century to describe a particular brand of New Englander: arrogant, hypocritical, unfriendly, condescending, intolerant, extremely self-righteous, and believing that he and his were God’s chosen people.

However, this seems to be definitely the behavior of a good number of my neighbors in upper suburban Detroit. This isn't surprising, as Dilorenzo likewise explains:

The idea of Yankee moral superiority was carefully crafted almost from the time of the Pilgrims. By 1861, New England Yankees and their Midwestern cousins had concocted the myth of a free, white, and virtuous New England that, by virtue of its moral superiority, had a right to remake all other sections of the U.S. in its own image, creating a Heaven on Earth (i.e., the New England-ization of North America).
