Definitions of "Damn Yankee" I've heard include: A northener moving south with a northern company and intending to stay in the South. And someone whose ancestors fought on the wrong side in the "War Between the States" more commonly known as the Civil War in my neck of the woods.
I qualified as a Damn Yankee under both conditions when I lived in South Carolina.

As for the "Civil War" it wasn't civil and the preferred term down here is "The War of Northern Aggression"
The wrong side? Oh yeah, the folks that came down, burnt everything and trespassed all over the place.
It's all a matter of perspective and point of view ya'll.............
