You might, however, meet some southerner (as I have, since I live in the south) who feels a deep attachment to his southern roots, who had ancestors who fought on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War (I have several myself) and who's also politically ultra-conservative (which I'm not) and who would prefer to be called simply an "American" instead, since the word "Yank" has connotations associated with the Union side during the Civil War.
