A deed-restricted development in Jasper County, near Hilton Head, S.C. In 1998 a developer bought 1,700 acres, a property called Delta Plantation, to subdivide for homes. The official covenants, as recorded in the county auditor's office, say the property may never be sold or leased "to any person or entity that may be described as being part of the Yankee race."

The definition of "Yankee race" is anyone or anything "born or formed north of the Mason-Dixon Line" or anyone who has lived north of the line continuously for a year.

It also says "no person with the last name of Sherman or born up north whose last name includes letters that can be rearranged to spell Sherman shall ever own, lease, enter, occupy, walk upon or hold any interest" in the property.

The covenants say the restrictions "are necessary to ensure that the Yankees will never own or control large tracts of land that rightfully belong in Southern hands again or again.


Just saying you know.
 
You dont think thats funny?

I was rolling. You cant even have name that can be rearanged to spell Sherman. LOL LOL
 
There are some old laws on the books in numerous states that are quite literally a riot when reviewed and the best part is they are still valid to this day although not enforced. The Mason Dixon line which is actually a reference to the two men who surveyed the area was never meant to be a division of the north and south. Rather, the survey which reportedly cost $75,000 was done over a property dispute. In 1632, King Charles I of England gave the first Lord Baltimore, George Calvert, the colony of Maryland. Fifty years later, in 1682, King Charles II gave William Penn the territory to the north, which later became Pennsylvania. A year later, Charles II gave Penn land on the Delmarva Peninsula (the peninsula that includes the eastern portion of modern Maryland and all of Delaware).

The description of the boundaries in the grants to Calvert and Penn did not match and there was a great deal of confusion as to where the boundary (supposedly along 40 degrees north) lay. The Calvert and Penn families took the matter to the British court and England's chief justice declared in 1750 that the boundary between southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland should lie 15 miles south of Philadelphia (at 39 degrees 43 minutes North). A decade later, the two families agreed on the compromise and set out to have the new boundary surveyed. Unfortunately, colonial surveyors were no match for the difficult job and two experts from England had to be recruited. The line was later extended west.

See thats the best part.

Its all a big joke.
You can discriminate against any group that is not specificly protected. Thats what is all about. They have people from all over that bought houses and land. Its just meant to be funny.

Its totally illegal and wrong to discriminate against a race, but its only just wrong to discriminate against Yankees. Its totally legal though. I guess I am the only one that thinks its just funny. I know I am not right.

Anyway. I thought it was funny.
 
LOL.....I think it's funny, but Steve...you know we both have a sick sense of humor. :thumbup:
