Reply #14: About that time there were three other divisions, one of which sort of persists today

If I were to consider myself anything of that time it would probably be something you've likely never heard of, Cohee. Prior to the civil war anyone in the country would have known exactly what it meant as well as its two counterparts, Tuckahoe and Yankee. The traditional notion of who a Yankee persists to today but the other two have faded. You can begin to grasp the Tuckahoe in that was the name of Jefferson's father's home. The Tuckahoe were the better off land owners, tradesmen, and wealthy coastal folks. The Cohee were the inland people of the mountans and beyond, from a place much more harsh and very much independent of the other two.
