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.
"Stupid Southern idiots. Don't they know how to read or write or even speak?"
"Well, obviously. Nashville, Tennessee, is actually called the Athens of the South because of all of its colleges and universities."
"What's so special about the South?"
"It's naturally charming. It is also
home of the Linville Caverns, Grandfather Mountain, the birthplace of
Jazz, the Biltmore Estate and Gardens, and more."
I'm proud to be a Southerner. Even if that makes me a hillbilly, a
redneck, a flag waver, a backwards
fool . . . it doesn't matter! I am proud to say I am a Southerner.
