I remember reading about a very young Confederate general who, after the War of Northern Aggression, repatriated and worked his way up through the Army ranks all the way to general. He led some forces in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Everytime his forces drove the enemy back, He'd yell out "We got those damn Yankees on the run!", much to the chagrin of his Yankee soldiers.
