Plot
Bugs Bunny hears of a record carrot crop in Alabama, prompting him to head South. At the Mason–Dixon line, he comes under fire from Yosemite Sam, who is wearing a Confederate uniform and claims to have orders from General Lee to stop any "Yankee" who tries to cross the border. Bugs points out that the Civil War ended almost 90 years ago, but his protests fall on deaf ears.Bugs uses a series of disguises in order to fool Sam: first a banjo-playing slave, then Abraham Lincoln, then "Brickwall Jackson", then a Southern belle, and finally a wounded Confederate soldier. In the last guise, he tricks Sam into heading for Tennessee by telling him "the Yankees are in Chattanooga". The short ends with Sam brandishing his gun at the New York Yankees, who have come to Chattanooga for an exhibition game.
