The term "Yankee" originally referred to Dutch settlers in New York in the 17th century but evolved to describe New Englanders and, more broadly, Northerners during the American Civil War. It became associated with Union soldiers and was often used by Southerners in a derogatory sense. Over time, "Yankee" has taken on a more neutral or even affectionate connotation, particularly in reference to American identity as a whole.
