Thanks LRM. Knew Holliday was from Georgia but didn’t know the history of huckleberry line.
Damn. I meant to include a reference to the U-Boat wolfpacks but forgot.
The Seminole Tribe of Florida actually officially sanctions FSU’s use of ‘Seminoles’. The tribe takes pride in it. Once the Seminole Chief told the PC police to back the f’ up, there was little they could do.
History factoids. The Florida Seminoles never surrendered. Pretty sure only Native American Tribe that can make that claim. They frustrated Pres Tyler and retreated into the Everglades. Tyler gave up and unilaterally declared victory in the Seminole War.
The very name of the tribe, ‘Seminole’, may one day be made to be a racial slur for those looking for offenses. It derives from (a corruption of) cimarrón, a Spanish term for “runaway” or “wild one.”
