Antebellum • \ANT-i-bell-um\ • adjective – Existing before a war; especially: existing before the American Civil War. Etymology: Latin ante bellum before the war
Sitting on the front porch of the antebellum mansion in Mississippi, Beauregard thought dreamily of his old home in the far north of Saskatchewan. “Somewhere near Uranium City,” he mused, “a small child is being carried away by a hungry mosquito. Here, the bugs are so laid back that they just expect you to offer a meaty arm or well-turned ankle for their consideration.”
