I was looking for a good name to use for this blog in my signoff. Then I remember the name Northerners used to derisively refer to Confederates because they seceded. They were secessionists, which was shortened to Seces/Secesh. I remember once a fellow teacher came up to me and said that her family had found a Civil War letter written by a family member who referred to a group of people called Secesh. I explained it to her. Kind of a good name, especially in these trying times. --Old Secesh
