Appalachian

Appalachian - white people ( hillbillies ) that live in from the western Catskill Mountains of New York to northern Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi . West Virginia ... pretty much people that live in shacks or log cabins in the mountains,
they live off the land & live a rustic lifestyle .... most likely people you see with a confederate flag, Santa Claus like beards, denim overalls, flannel shirts, bare feet or work boots, drive a pick-up truck.... most were likely farmers or coal miners....

they can be mis taken for Southerns or their distant cousins from the Ozarks, the Ozarks covers most of the southern half of Missouri & northwestern & north central Arkansas, as well as much smaller portions of northeastern Oklahoma & southeastern Kansas.

they might not take too kindly to outsiders !

also note all 3 of them the Appalachian , Ozark ! southerners are known to carry firearms

be it for hunting or self-defense!

if you are Irish ,Scottish , Scotch-Irish aka ulster Scot, English and live in the USA

there is a 60 % chance you might come from Appalachian people !
