Contrary to the opinion of many northerners, the south is not a place filled with rednecks drinking whiskey, playing banjos, sleeping with our cousins, and beating on black people. In fact, we are actually pretty tolerant, as a whole, of other races and religions (i would like to point out that the biggest riots when they integrated schools were in boston.) We also have a very unique culture including music and literature. A lot of great writers and musicians were from the south, such as B.B. King, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, and Anne Rice. We also contribute to movies as well, since many great actors such as Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones hail from here. So biased northerners should get a clue, or maybe read Gone with the Wind, the most beloved work by an American author. It's by a dirty racist southerner, I hear.

Made the butt of jokes by Northerners. The South is filled with hard workers, some of the most hospitable people you will come across, friendly and down to earth, and are surrounded by beautiful mountains. It is also filled with people who can build, successfully grow gardens, and if disaster struck, generally live off the land. Because they have the wit and skill and determination to do those things that Northerners do not. The South is not full of racists or dumb people, the South has educated people and civilization---also the part of the United States where the most common sense is used. People are appreciative of what they have, and work hard to get it. They have manners and morals, and is arguably one of the calmest places to live in America.

The South tends to have its own feel to it. From hustling cities to winding country roads. From Victorian-styled homes to modern-day houses. It has charm and natural beauty. The people are proud of who they are.
