	Heh heh... I was remembering a lecture in one of my American
History
classes where the professor attributed part of the Confederacy's early
success to the "Scotch-Irish" heritage of the rebel yell.  Apparently,

whooping and hollering like banchees.

Be careful... The stars and bars of the Confederacy is now considered by
some African-Americans to be a symbol of racism and institutionalized
slavery.

Personally, I've always prefered the old Revolutionary War Rattlesnake
