The reason why I ask this is because most of the people which you run into on here are Americans; I am British by the way. And I can sense allot of hostility between Southerners and non southerners. I find the south interesting, although I have never been to the southern United States before, or met any southerners for that matter. The south does seems to be a very cultured place.
Notwithstanding I don’t think that I ever heard the south depicted in a positive way either by the media, or any non southerners which I have met in person or spoken to on the internet. I have often heard southerners referred to as “rednecks” and “dumbass southerners”. And this guy who I was talking to before on the internet that was from Boston; described the south as being like a different country. And told me how people from the south call him a Yankee when goes down there.
I find this funny in a way, I chose to do a module in the American civil war, when I was doing an A level in History. And I always thought that the north and the south settled their differences following the end of the civil war, or at least by I don’t know 50,100 years later or something. What is the reason for the apparent tensions between southerners and non southerners? And in modern times how does the north differ from the south, socially, culturally, economically, politically etc.
