No stereotype nickname for Westerners?
A lot of us refer to anyone east of the continental divide as "Yankees" completely disregarding the MD line.
And completely unfairly too..I know at least the Arizona and Oregon Territories were on the side for State's rights during the War of Northern Aggression, and some minor engagements were fought out here in the West.
And I've seen many areas in most of the Western states that are pretty darn "southern".
Oh, unfairly indeed  since I was referring to all areas of th U.S. east of the Great Divide with no respect to North or South.
And, well, since the North was victorious..................
(Wonder what can-o-worms that'll open)
Heck, even Nevada's motto "Battle Born" is a reference to being granted statehood during the Civil War (or WNA) to give the North more seats in congress.
Yankee is just handy, since like Westerners, Easterners really have no encompassing stereotypical nickname.
I'm open for a better one  .
