Summary

This quote is a humorous play on words, using irony to highlight the speaker's perception of their family as being unintelligent. The mention of the Civil War and their great Uncle fighting for the west adds to the absurdity of the statement, as it implies a lack of understanding of historical events or a misinterpretation of their family history. Ultimately, the quote serves as a lighthearted way of self-deprecating and poking fun at one's own ancestry.
