Wasn't always like that. Polite, yes. Friendly? Not to Yankees (Northerners). Had a co-worker who went to HS in NYC in the late 70's. Told me his HS Senior Trip was to Texas and their bus got lost and ended up in a small town. They stopped off at a bar to get directions (only place that was open). When the locals found out they were Yankees, they were firmly told (although politely) that they best be leaving. Of course its different now and that ex co-worker now lives and works in the South.
Hello from Alabama! The heat here can be intense. At this time of year, it's not uncommon to have temps at 95+ degrees (with a heat index at 105+) and humidity at 85%. So, when you go outdoors, it feels a bit like walking into a really hot cloud or a wall of water. You sweat immediately. It can even feel difficult to breathe. If you wear glasses, your glasses will fog up.
Death Valley is in California. The South is so hot in the summer. I am from the North and I had to go to South Carolina the first week of August a few years ago and it was WAY too hot!!
@@cindylawrence1200 u damn right 🤣🤣🤣 people want to talk about how hot it is they've never been in a state where it's hot and humid as fuck🤣 and the shade don't even help it's just as bad as sitting in the sun during the summer it's always the humidity that gets us. 🤣🤣
@@scottbivins4758 True brother!! As an example, when I let my dog outside this AM before light, and even then, I was hit hard with heat and humidity - it was hard to breathe! And u r right, people need to experience the real heat before writing or talking about it! Georgia is HOT!!!
@@cindylawrence1200 same here in NC. Hell you're lucky if you get the wind blowing and maybe it's a cloudy day fold the clouds do cover up the Sun like if you get that you're lucky. Lol especially when it's like 90° but it feels like it's 100° an something but unfortunately it's summertime so you know we really going to get that many clouds to cover up the Sun but we are lucky every once in awhile. At least here in North Carolina. But I believe it gets hot in Georgia hey I've been to South Carolina in the summertime and it's hot as balls down there too. The deep South The heat probably gets way worse I would imagine. Is Georgia just the South or do you guys say it's the deep South? I ain't never figured that out 🤣
the deep south where I'm from in South Carolina is on the same latitude as north Africa and the middle east, it gets over 100 degrees Fahrenheit here during the spring and summer.
I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana...We are very proud..I never believed in slavery..NEVER..But I do believe in God..And I love all people but those who oppress others..Not right !!!
I grew up in the Deep South but I’m not originally from there. My family was a military family so we moved around a bit. I was born in northern Michigan but we moved to DC when I was 5 weeks old. At 3 we moved to Omaha and we stayed there until I was around 8 and in the second grade. That’s when we moved to the Deep South. We went to southern Georgia just 12 miles from the Florida border. It was so different and strange to me so we may as well have been in a whole different country! But of course I got used to it and in high school we moved to Savannah, Georgia which was 3 hours away and on the coast. That’s where I graduated from high school. But the south in general is very different than anywhere else I’ve been. I consider myself to be a true southerner now and I’m proud of it
I moved from NY to SC. Do you still get the attitude that “you’re not from here, are you” question? I’ve lived here for 30+ years and still have someone tell me that every so often. 😂
Exactly! I think the reason the southerners do that is because other parts of our country have preconceived notions that we are stupid. Well, I’ve been to many parts of this world and I still believe that rednecks and southerners have the worst tempers
@lupusalbus3795 I tried to get my dying mother decent Healthcare. The hospitals down there are like 2 decades behind. It didn't help that I'm Catholic.
Sometimes Religion and Politics can cause fights between family members and your friends brothers. Thats why alot of ppl usually choose to stay off that topic for the most part
Where I live if you’re not republican you usually try to stay off the topic, but most people are republican and it is one of the first things they’ll bring up to talk about. Even if you won’t partake, they’ll carry the conversation themselves lmao
We have swamps and sinkholes. We don't play, lol 🐊 🇺🇸 It's hot. This weekend the temp was 92°f with humidity the heat index is 115°f. You cannot breath the heavy wet air some days. We get a few inches of snow in February.
I was born in Ohio and have spent most of my life in North Carolina. It's not exactly the Deep South, but it is a Southern State. I have spent time around the South, including the Deep South and his take on the South is the kind of oversimplification common to many Americans outside the South. To say that the slave owners were getting rich off the slaves is kind of erroneous. The Northern States were exacting economic restrictions on the Southern States long before slavery was an issue, particularly with regard to textiles - read: cotton. When it was time for the cotton harvest, it was all hands on deck: Black, white, men, women, children. And don't think that agriculture was simply a primary export. Most white southerners didn't own slaves (though most were in favor of slavery). Most white southerners were agrarian. They grew food for themselves. They might be seen as "poor" but they had everything they needed because they were self-sufficient. They grew their own food, made their own clothing, and built their own houses. That's the "agriculture" of the old South. There were also mining and milling camps. Many of these were run by Northern companies that all but enslaved their workers. They paid them in money that could only be spent in the camp store. They provided a doctor that was focused on keeping people working and a pastor for the church who would preach hard work and loyalty to the company. While many of these camps separated black and white workers, the white workers weren't much better off than the black workers. My great grandfather kept the horses and mules for a mining camp. He also had some skill at repairing shoes so he would repair shoes for the workers for free because they didn't have anything to pay him with - and that was AFTER the civil War. This was life in the South. Many Southerners still have this in their collective memories when they think of Northerners.
Very few people know that black slave owners also existed. Most bought their families' freedom, but many used them as labor. Thomas Sowell gives great lessons on this.
Couple of responses. Death Valley is in California. The heat of the South is considered oppressive because of the humidity. The US Southwest has desert areas where it's a dry heat, and that has its own issues, but humidity makes the actual temperature feel much hotter than it is, because the air is saturated with water and your sweat has nowhere to evaporate to. In the summertime all across the US even up here in NYC, we get slammed by the same humidity dynamics and sweltering heat as the South deals with, but the South gets it worse. Give me a dry desert heat and the safety precautions needed there any day over being slowly steamed to death in the shade. Also, there is a real political movement which is underway right now being led by the children of privilege at the Ivy League Universities, if you can believe it. Gen Z is in college and they are leading massive protests and occupation movements, and they are freaking out the establishment because these are the children of the wealthy elites, who usually grow up safely conservative. These are the kids who have been groomed and positioned both socially and economically their entire lives under the assumption that from their ranks will come the future Presidents and Senators and CEOs and Billionaires of the country. But they have a well-formed concept of social justice, and they are rejecting the status quo that would have maintained their privilege, and they are mobilizing to occupy the halls of the Ivy League like Columbia University and Harvard to try and force these institutions to divest from all investments in Israel and to raise their voices to the government to insist upon halting the genocide in Palestine. These aren't the poor or even the middle classed kids. These are the children of the oligarch class themselves working to actively dismantle the system of injustice when they don't have to. And this represents a huge shift that is underway. An "American Spring" if you will, to follow the fine examples of North Africa from not too long ago. The real target though needs to be the dismantling of the Electoral College. There is a political coalition which exists among several of the States, leveraging the concept of States Rights against the Conservatives who usually stand to benefit the most from the Electoral College in recent decades. It's called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. States vote in their State Legislatures when they wish to join, and they become part of the agreement. The agreement being that when the States in the Compact control enough Electoral Votes in the Electoral College system to elect a President (currently 270 Electoral Votes needed), then the Compact will go into effect. And the agreement of those States holds that at the point when the Compact goes into effect, those States agree to legally commit 100% of their Electoral Votes to be cast for whichever candidate won the Popular Vote. Because the Compact States have the majority needed to elect a president, essentially this Compact renders the Electoral College nullified, because the Electoral College was designed to allow the rich and powerful few to maintain control over who the People elect. If the majority of Electoral Vote States are agreeing to obey the Will of the People, then the Electoral System becomes a ritual formality with no power. Currently the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has 77% of the Electoral Votes that it needs to neutralize the Electoral College and ensure that the Will of the People alone will elect the highest office of the land. Once that happens, American politics changes radically, and the last of the Founder's attempt to ensure that rich white male landowners controlled America will be replaced by Parliamentary-style need to form coalitions and make third- and fourth- party candidates able to win the Presidency once more, like it was in the early days of America. Check it out. Either look into the pro-Palestine American protests or study up on how the Electoral College is strangling the People of America and holding us hostage to the conservatives who only represent about 33% of the people. You know that something major is shifting when the very children who are hand-picked from the elites to replace the elites are protesting the systemic injustices and political system which they stand to inherit that the system as it was can no longer stand.
First, having moved from NYC to the West (AZ and now NV) I would agree that dry heat is much preferrable to humidity. 100F with 20% humdity out here is more comfortable than 88F with 95% humidity. You can simply get out of the blazing sun into shade and its much more comfortable in dry climates. But humidity remains with you. Second, you aren't going to see the Electoral College get dismantled. The original concept of the US was not a single country with a strong central government but a coalition of states (most Americans think of the definition of a state being different than that of a country but in most of the world, a state is the same thing as a country). They would have a collective defense and diplomatic corps but the only thing the central govt was supposed to deal with is relations with other countries. That started changing with the result of the Civil War, but there is still the issue of "tyranny of the majority" which was a concern of the Founding Fathers. And if the President was elected by popular vote instead of the Electoral College, Presidential Candidates would ignore roughly 2/3 of the states as their sparse populations wouldn't be worth going after. So most states have a winner take all Electoral College vote. There are a couple of states where you can split the Electoral Vote, but they are so dominated by a single party (Democrats) that effectively, it doesn't matter. You are more likely to see another American Civil War than for the Electoral College to go away.
Hey Habibi bro's I use to live in Algiers although it's on the West Bank in new Orleans. Now I live on the Left Bank still in New Orleans. Just looked at Google map of Algeria and New Orleans is on the same latitude as El Goléa, Guerzim, Tabelbala...if you can share. Always welcome in New Orleans.❤
Slavery has existed pretty much everywhere in he entire world and every race has instances of people of that race being slaves along with enslaving others. The word "slave" comes from the word "slav" which were Eastern European peoples who were commonly taken and enslaved. Slavic people.
The Arabic world was the unequivocal leader in sheer volume of slaves captured and sold. More Sub-Saharan Africans were sold to the Islamic world than to Europe and the Western Hemisphere combined. There were more Europeans enslaved by North Africans than there were Sub-Saharan Africans enslaved and sent to the Western hemisphere.
the video is wrong about the end of slavery. the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 didn’t end slavery, it just said they could be confiscated in states rebelling against the United States. slavery wasn’t ended until the 13th Amendment was passed and adopted in 1865.
I’d love for them to see a video of Sweet Caroline playing anywhere public in the Deep South 😭 at least where I’m from, literally everyone in the vicinity will stand up and start singing their hearts out
Yeah, I've experienced the culture shock of how open people are about politics living where I'm at in Ohio. Usually, in the rural conservative area I'm in, people will openly discuss politics, even at work. But there have been times when I've hung out with family members in the city and when I start ranting about politics they tell me to quiet down because they see it as impolite, particularly in public. LOL.
Great video guys ❤ We traveled all over the world, but I couldn't wait to come back home to South Georgia, where the people are friendly & a little crazy too 😂
I like that you guys mentioned that the newer generations don’t have bad accents. The southern accents they show in videos and tv are always very exaggerated, maybe people used to sound like that, and some very country people still do, but for the most part we don’t sound that bad anymore
The south is very hot in the summer and it gets very humid, for that reason is more uncomfortable then some countries like Egypt, which I visited in 2019. In Egypt, it was more of a dry heat, as long as I was in the shade or wearing some kind of hat you were fine. On the other hand, even if your in the shade in the south your just dripping with sweat all the time, your clothes are sticky wet, I was there in 2014 & will never go again! I guess if you lived your whole life there, you might be more used to it, but for me it was HELL ON EARTH, it was so bad!!
@@AC-ni4gt Yes, exactly. I know what your talking about, Because Taiwan is not to far from Hong Kong, I was in HK for a month for work & also in Shenzhen, a city in China, just north of Hong Kong & it was very similar in humidity as the US south, but for some reason I don't remember it being that bad.
Slavery was no longer very profitable or economically efficient, many were in severe debt or not making all that much, especially compared to the north which was absolutely booming with industry. Turns out, it's actually far more profitable to pay a motivated worker a wage rather than having to take care of all the basic needs and security of a slave who has no incentive to do their best.
I live in North Carolina and the Southern culture is alive and well. We say yes ma'am an yes sir because we were raised to be polite at all cost. If you are a stranger and we see you struggling we will always invite you into our home for food with our family. We are considered conservative because most of us don't believe in abortion, we are very protective as Christians as to what our children are taught and what they see. We do barbecue really well but with a vinegar based sauce instead of tomato based sauce. We respect that other people don't eat certain things because like I said we are always polite. Though as children not all of us came from wealthy homes so we ate what Mama put on the table or you didn't eat. Here on the coast we eat lots of seafood we love our grits and bacon and biscuits. We might look at you a little crazy but we would never force a guest to eat what we do.
Having seen the entire United States, I'd imagine the best place for an Arab Muslim to visit, within the U.S. is New York/New Jersey. A lot of places in the South aren't really used to seeing a large population of minorities, especially those with non-Christian belief systems. Of course most places in the south wouldn't show discrtimination towards you, but there wouldn't be a lot of amenities that cater to Muslim people specifically. In New York/New Jersey, there is a very large population of Muslim people. You can get Halal food in every major city, there are plenty of muslim places of worship. NYC really is the crowning jewel of the United States. It's the most exciting and culturally diverse city in the entire world. There's something for everybody. There is nowhere else in the U.S. that you can find as much entertainment, within a small traveling distance, than NYC. Also, if you're looking to sample different cuisines, the 5 boroughs of NYC represent every country in the world. You want to try authentic Mongolian food, Angolan food? How about Samoan food? Whatever you want, you'll find it in NYC.
@@causticchameleon7861 Yeah, they could go to Atlanta, Memphis, Agusta, New Orleans. But I feel like they'd be robbing themselves of the "multiple cultural" experience. Atlanta is basically just 50% white and 50% Black. Not that much diversity there.. I'm assuming they don't drink. They're not exactly close to each other either. I can't imagine a tourist's first time in the U.S. being Atlanta. No disrespect, there's some good people in Hotlanta. Maybe I just say this because I'm Black, but I can't see people traveling 7000 miles with the intention of seeing Black culture; which Atlanta is heavily influenced by. It's definitely something I'd be proud to show people that wanted to learn about it, but I know it's not on top of many tourists lists. Any big city is going to be able to cater to Muslim tourists plenty fine, but nowhere is quite like NY/NJ. There are 1 million Muslim people in NY/NJ. There's Halal food and muslim cultural centers in every city. And like I said before, NYC is easily the best city in the world for entertainment. Yes, I have been to Atlanta btw.
@@boblob-law9401 Well honey, I’m 61, born in Atlanta as was my mom and grandmother and, in fact, both sides of my family have been in Atlanta/metro area for over 100 yrs and in Georgia since the late 1700’s/early 1800’s. There are many areas in Atlanta that have Muslim populations and Arab populations. There are at least 10 mosques within 25 miles of my current location. Why in the world would some Arabic young men come here to only visit areas with a similar population to theirs. We have tourist from all over the world come to my small town just outside of Atlanta to experience small town America and to see points of interest shown in movies and to see filming sites since we have multiple movie studios in metro Atlanta. In the city of Atlanta, most tourist come to see popular touristy things such as our aquarium, underground Atlanta and world of cocoa cola (which they are going to tear down and rebuild) not to mention having visions of Gone With The Wind. But I do agree why would anyone visit Atlanta especially these days with its extremely high crime rates. Where you can be shot dead while pumping gas (regular occurrence). Will they get stares because of the way they dress? Of course they will. Just like I got stares when I visited Egypt last year. Plus if they come in the summer and wear those robes and headwear, people will definitely stare wondering when they are gonna pass out from heat stroke. There is more to Georgia than Atlanta and more to the Atlanta metro area than just black and white culture but you must be open to see it which it sounds like you are not.
@causticchameleon7861 Thanks for your reply. I didn't mean to insult your home. I know that Gerogia has a lot to offer. Again, I HAVE been to Atlanta. Both as a "tourist" and on business. My point was to point out that it isn't necessarily the best place for tourists to visit on their FIRST trip to America. Especially Muslim tourists coming from 7000 miles away. There aren't enough places to see that would be equally as appealing as NYC/NJ. But let's say they are into Southern culture and not interested in the NE; I wouldn't recommend Atlanta for the very reasons you listed. It's can be dangerous. Also NYC isn't anything like their culture, it just has amenities that allow them to follow their religion while on vacation. They wouldn't have to travel great distances, just to find halal food, because it's always right around the corner. They wouldn't be stared at because of whatever they're wearing. Things like that.
Growing up in the 60's and 70's the South was a huge Democrat stronghold, while Republicans controlled many Northern States like Connecticut. That stems from the fact that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and freed black slaves would vote Republican in gratitude. Northern Republican politicians and businessmen would move to the destroyed South and take advantage of the Southerners (they were called Carpetbaggers) - and that started the distrust and hate that Southerners had for politicians and especially Republicans. That started changing under Reagan - while the Democrats held both the House and Senate except for a couple of years of Republican control of the Senate - Reagan was able to pass his agenda with the help of Southern Democrats (Blue Dog Democrats). But most Southerners still identified themselves as Democrats. When Clinton was elected and put out the "For Sale" sign in front of the Democratic Party, that made wealthy Northerners to change party affiliation to Democrat (Hillary Clinton came from a Republican family who all switched to Democrats). In turn, white Southerners switched from Democrat to Republican. Democrats now only control the urban cities with their large black populations (and recent immigrants from the North due to starting businesses in the South is so much easier - much less regulation).
Here in Arizona we get summer temperatures of 100°F-118°f (38°C-48°C). Now I am curious what temps Sahara gets. You should do a video for us on your area/continent.
When I first moved to the south I quickly found out that every single person you meet, the very first thing they ask is what church you go to which inevitably leads to them telling you how great their church is and inviting you to go with them
Southerner. One of the reasons the south is so red, is because of gerrymandering. 65% could vote Democrat, and still end up with a Republican bureaucrat. 18:20
In Texas, every major metro area except Corpus Christi voted blue. 86% of Texans live in urban areas. But of 36 districts in Texas, 23 are rural. So we end up a red state regardless of how many voters go blue.
We had never really been United in the United States of America they're always was and always will be that divide. As a southerner I will tell you yes the civil war was about slavery but it was much more to it than just slavery. When the United States of America was formed they did not make slavery illegal in the president of the United States of America had no right to abolish slavery nor did the federal government that was the People's choice and the country kept on expanding West an accepting new States into the Union and the way the country was set up one side is not supposed to have more political power than the other. And they said slavery could not go above the Mason-Dixon line. Which was attempting to stop the south from having the same amount of political power as the northern states. And what really kicked off the civil war was there was this dude named John Brown who was a abolitionist and he went to Virginia and he tried to start a slave revolt and he got hung for it. The way most northerners look at it was John Brown was a hero and not a terrorist he he was trying to free slaves with violence so a lot of northerners and Yankees look at what John Brown did was right but the South fighting for what they looked at as their right it was bad but my thing is there were laws on the books against helping slaves escape. Slavery was legal in the 1800s. Look at it this way your government tries to tell you no you can't do that no more but that has been allowed since the founding of the country. I don't agree with slavery but I don't agree that the federal government had any rights to try to tell people you can't have that. And a lot of people don't understand either Abraham Lincoln suspended parts of the Constitution in violated People's first amendment right witches freedom of speech Lincoln actually arrested people for sympathizing with the South. The South has always been anti big government we don't want government being involved in every aspect of our life. And that is what eventually ended up happening.
One thing the narrator forgot to mention was how rich sea captains from the north got from transporting slaves from Africa. And Northerns also owned slaves, lots of them. The majority of white people in the South didn’t own slaves, they were poor. Only plantation owners had the money to buy slaves and the amount of land that required a large number of workers, and there weren’t large numbers of them. If you don’t bring up politics most people won’t either, if they do you don’t have to engage. Accent is being diluted because of all the rest of the country coming here to live, especially from the North.
Because they accept religion more in their daily lives does not necessarily mean they are more moral than other people. Aggression and abuse is more frequently exhibited between the people
Slavery is in every cultures’ history. Every race did it. America was one of the earliest nations to abolish it. It still goes on in Africa to this day. And as an American that lives in Mississippi in southern US, I have Black people in my family, and we have some of the best race relations in the nation. Don’t let this video lead you to misjudge the south. We also have the best food.
Elvis Presley was from Mississippi. Tupelo i believe and the LS band came from Florida, not Alabama. They have a very popular song called "Sweet home Alabama" though. 🤗
Lynyrd Skynyrd was from Jacksonville, Florida. Half of the band died in a plane crash in 1977, so that poor Soviet guy missed his chance to see them. We got slavery from our European colonizers. They left it here when we kicked them out and it took the good folks a little while and America's deadliest war to finally abolish it.
Skynyrd still tours. Only 3 members died in that crash (lead singer, guitar player, and female back-up singer). The lead singer's brother took over the lead singing after Ronnie passed.
The narrators confidence in the history of why the civil war came about is one sided and half trothed. And Lynyrd Skynyrd isn’t not from Alabama,they’re from Florida. I’m not even gonna get into the argument of what political party is the majority in the south. This guy narrating is just wrong ✌️
The Narrator Is Right About The Civil War Being About Slavery Ok, The Southern States Try To Cover It Up By Saying It Was About State Rights 👎 No, They Wanted The Right To Keep Minorities Enslaved & That's Wrong No Matter How They Put It, I'm a Christian & I Believe Every Man/Woman & Child Is Equal & Should Be Treated The Same By States/The Government/Job Opportunities/Housing & By The Police/Justice System, So How Can The South Be More Religious But Don't Want Equality For All🤔 Even With Immigration The South/Republicans Don't Want A Legal/Rational Immigration Bill To Allow Mexicans/Other Minorities a Pathway To Citizenship & The Democrats Keep Trying To Pass One For Year's But Trump/Republicans Keep Blocking It, Now Ask Why (If You Brother's Truly Think About Why, I'm Pretty Sure You Know The Answer) Answer Is "Afraid of Some Day Not Being The Majority Race, Which Actually Controls Mostly Everything) Policies & Government/Laws
I was born and raised in the south. I left and moved to Maryland 40 years ago. There are a lot of racist people in my hometown still today. I think that racism is about fearing people that you don’t know. It sounds crazy but that’s what I have observed. If you don’t get to know other cultures then you might fear them. I was surprised when I moved to Maryland how black people have misconceptions about white people. My late husband was black. As with white people from the south, black people have misconceptions about white people. They loved me when they got to know me. On another note, I live in a refugee county. We welcome people from other countries and if they were stopped but the police, they are not allowed to ask for proof of citizenship. I take my grandchildren to a park that is open until 9pm and last night there was a community of about 50 Arab people gathered together. One man was praying on the ground (he didn’t have his cloth with him). They always get together when I’m there. I love it. I do wonder if people from other countries like us. Do they think we are all bad?
The South is burning hot, especially in the summer. Its not a dry desert heat. It's a really hot & humid heat, that makes you sweat. It could be a 90° F. day, and when you add on the humidity, it feels like 120°! It takes a lot to get used to. I've lived all over the USA. My dad was in the military, so we moved a lot! I was born in Louisiana, where the heat & humidity is insane. Then we moved to the comfortable temperatures of Hawaii, then to Tennessee and Virginia...where it was more hot & humid summers, but absolutely beautiful. The mountains of Tennessee are so special and its one of my favorite places in the world. Then when I was 12yrs old, my dad retired from the military so we moved to where my mom grew up & her whole family lived... Southern California. Which has a perfect dry heat & gorgeous weather year round. When I was 14 yrs old we moved again to New Hampshire. My dad was offered a good job there, but I hated living there. That was more of being the new girl in school & being bullied, than the weather tho. Thankfully we only lived there a year, when my dad was offered another job in Ohio. Where the weather is humid in the summers too, although not as extreme as Louisiana. We only stayed in Ohio for 2years, when my mom and I finally talked my dad into moving back to California...we missed it so much. Im 45yrs old & Ive been here ever since, and even though I can't stand the way California government runs this state...it is home!!
I live in NC and if I try to run errands in the summer, I return home as pink as a piglet. It's 100% not the sun exposure because I am super careful, but I am just so fair that just the heat turns me bright pink.
@Laura-mi3nv hahaa...I have the same problem!! I'm so fair skinned that when I overheat I turn different shades of pink and red! For some reason, the humidity hits me way harder than a dry heat does! It just zaps the energy from my body, and makes me tired
@causticchameleon7861 I know that feeling!! The worst is taking a shower on hot & humid days and by the time you get out and to your destination...your wet again like you just got out the shower!!
Regarding politics, the South hasn't always been conservative. That's a factual error. It's largely conservative today, but 70 years ago the South was more liberal. the south has always been a more populist group. The liberals at the time were more populist. Today, the conservatives and libertarians are more populist while the progressives are more elitist. So most Southerners would be classified better as old school liberals where the old school conservatives appear to be more modern liberal because of their elitism and the new conservatives appeal to the average person.
Keep in mind Briggs is from Oregon. One of the most haram states. Drugs, prostitution, drunkeness. His opinions are colored by where he lives and what he believes; not necessarily accurate.
Ok people. I'm going to educate you all to something here and I want to to pay close attention. There is a trend happening in the South that needs to stop. It pisses me off to no end. PEOPLE, the phrase "bless his/her/their heart" does NOT mean someone is ignorant. That phrase has been corrupted for far too long. Where I come from, in the south, mind you, it means "dear LORD please take care of that person." It is a form of sympathy for someone and/or their situation. If someone is struggling with something in there life or having a hard time dealing with something in their life, we Christians will usually say "oh bless their heart", "GOD love them, I hope they get better soon". Or if a child is really sick, we might say" oh bless their little heart", meaning we have sympathy for that person. This degrading derogatory meaning people want to contribute to this phrase is insulting to its origins and disgraceful. 😡
Apparently, but ALL the people I grew up with and around never ever used it as that. But it seems to be getting more popular for use that way. I just won't use it that way. I'd use something else depending on the situation. But everyone is different .
This video isn't biased at all. I love how he says everyone likes the government other than the deep south. This is bad info. People are losing their faith in the Govt. In every state.
politics in the south is so depressing. its scary how much power they have over the rest of the country (gerrymandering basically). the narrator is being wayyy too nice about what goes on down there.
The real reason for the Civil War was the Northern non slave states broke an agreement where if a slave escaped the North was obligated to return the slave back to its owner. In addition to that Abraham Lincoln was pushing for making slavery illegal in any NEW state to the Union. Lincoln believed that slavery would eventually fade into obscurity and there was no need to make any real moves in opposition to it. The Confederacy aka the South feared that would eventually lead to the Northern non slave States getting enough votes to outright abolish slavery. That's is the real reason for the American Civil War. It was a preemptive act to stop the non slave states from bullying them. The South was always less population dense so they always had less representatives in the House of Representatives. So while they could keep any amendment from passing due to having an equal number of Senators if that were to change due to no more slave states being introduced then eventually they would be outnumbered in both houses and slave Abolition would have been inevitable.
I was about to come here to post Skynyrd is not from AL. They recorded in AL and one of the songs they are known for is "Sweet Home Alabama" but it's more about their time recording in AL and their experience with the AL ppl
The south is different from the rest of the rest of the country due to slavery. That’s the section of the country that tried to form their own country, the Confederacy (so they could keep slavery). Slaves did everything from working the fields, to trades, to cooking & housekeeping to raising & breastfeeding the white babies (while their own children were sold away). That’s where best food in the country was created by slaves who were given scraps & the food their “owners” didn’t want. Those scraps became the Soul food & BBQ (also known as “Southern” food. It’s ironic the ancestors of people who had absolutely nothing to do with cooking or creating it take pride in it 🤦🏾♀️). A lot of the slave owner’s ancestors try to debate the facts. To this day, there are regular instances of racism that they try to spin, justify or gaslight us (Black people) into believing there’s no racism in America. This country was literally built off racism. (When it ended, the US paid the slave owners for their “loss of property”. Slaves were listed as property like the livestock. Some listed just by age and gender. The owners got paid but the actual slaves were never paid the reparations they were provided for generations of slaves & centuries of work 😒) Some movies I recommend to give more perspective are: 1. 12 Years a Slave 2. Harriett 3. Glory 4. The Help 5. Green Book (Kind of a timeline from around the 1800’s to 1970’s. I also recommend Oversimplified video “The Civil War”. I’m a native & current Virginia resident. I am literally surrounded by US history.
As a Southerner, I have to say the culture working.The land is sad because we are seeing it fall apart. That culture is slowly disappearing.That's the only bad thing about this video that he didn't talk about.
Sadness , Runs Thru, many of Us, Canadians, WHO, have Served Together with N.A.T.O, For how AMERICAN Politics are done , in todays times.... Thank-you for being Interested in All !!! :)))
And also I might want to add into it was a very different in the 1860s people felt more loyalty to their state than what they did the country. If I had to choose my state over the country I would do it.
It may not seem hot to y’all but the Deep South is extremely hot! In South Georgia where I lived for about 8 months out of the year we had at least 100° temperatures with 100% humidity! That’s just plain miserable!
So the short big picture is. Wealthy Northern merchant ships sailed to Africa, and the Carribean, locals sold other non tribal members to the merchant ships, who then brought them to the colonies, ALL 13 COLONIES. The Emancipation Proclamation, freed only the slaves in the Confederate states, it did not apply to Northern states in which still held slaves. Northern Union General Grant owned slaves, his wife refused to set her slaves free until around 1868. nearly two and a half years after the end of the civil war. Confederate General Robert E Lee owned zero slaves. Library of congress holds the U.S. census taken prior to the civil war, inside it reveals 95.5% of whites in the state of South Carolina were NOT slave owners. Thus the majority of the state population was motivated for protecting state Rights, and not to preserve slavery. However the catch 22 was the fact that slave ownership was that of a state Right, and not for other states to dictate, or assert their control. In order for the Southern states to legally assert their Right on a constitutional level, they had to also assert the matters of slavery being the Right of the states authority (the people of a state). Thus they needed to use slavery as a state Right in order to make secession constitutional. This is a topic in which I'm highly educated on, and no I was not born in the south.
Thank you! I get so frustrated when ppl think slavery was just in the south! I would like to see the records of the numbers of slave owners before the Civil War for all the other states for comparison.
@@sarah_beav82 in the 1860 census there were 451,000 slaves in all of the states and territories that made up the Union. There were five southern (Confederate) states that had over 400,000 slaves apiece with Virginia having almost half a million. There were 2,300,000 in the southern (Confederate)states total according to the census.
The United States Federal Government and the individual State Governments methods of running the country will seem difficult to understand at first so PLEASE BEGIN WITH READING and getting a grasp of the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. This is where it all begins for the U.S. and State Governments. In the Democratic, Republican and Independent’s parties, there are a vast spectrum of ideas, conservatism to liberalism in each party. There are independent candidates who run a win in various districts with United States Senator Bernie Sands for the State of Vermont is probably the highest ranking office holder of the Independent “party”. I suggest you spend some time watching how the State and Federal governments work since each U.S. state has its own constitution, laws, state level representatives and senators and a Governor who is the “Chief Executive” of the State. From the states, voting districts are drawn (not always fairly for races and political parties) and from those districts, the people directly elect their Federal Representatives and Senators. The Presidential Election method is a very outdated system and in my opinion, should be changed so that whichever candidate gets a majority of votes wins the election. The courts, the third branch of each state and then Federal Court System is a mess to me but, I may well be in the minority of Americans with this opinion. Above all, it is absolutely important to read and understand The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. The things that the Federal Government (the national government) are spelled out. I the right to govern a particular issue IS NOT GRANTED IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS OR THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION then the right to enact and govern falls back to the people. The people govern by electing all state officials therefore voicing their opinions and demands and expectations through their State Government.
One use is an adjective, and other a noun. Very different. “evangelicals” vs evangelical (pronunciation but different too).Evangelicals are (by far) a minority in Christians in the US, but unfortunately have too often been associated with US Christianity of late and being overtly political.
@@mic1240 not correct, evangelical Christians aka bible believing are close to 46+% of the population, unlike those who mock any religion outside of the government.
That is not what "evangelical" means. Evangelicalism is probably furhter removed from actual Christianity than any other denomination. You're closer to Mormons than Catholics or high Protestants.
@@Abcdefg-tf7cu look it up, "evangelical" means that you believe in exactly what the Bible says about things, no reasoning your way out of things you know are wrong.
@@terrycarter1137 Literally every Christian "believes in what the Bible says." That is what a Christian is, by definition. I looked it up, and "evangelical" does not mean "you believe exaclty what the bible says about things." It means something much more specific. You don't even know nything about your own religon, which jjst proves what I said about evangelicals not actually believeing what's in the Bible because you haven't read it and/or do not know any of the historical context of when it was written. There's a reason you guys used to think black skin was the "mark of Cain," despite virtually all Biblical scholars agreeing that the mark of Cain was a tattoo.
Guess you wouldn’t like the Carolinas BBQ too much. Seeing as how it’s almost exclusively pork. I imagine a good amount in Texas is pork too. I’ve actually only ever seen beef BBQ ribs once on the east coast.
Some of the big bbq places around Austin have beef ribs, but they aren't common anywhere else. Not that I've seen anyway. We have lots of beef brisket. Usually the pork sells out fast & isn't always available.
Texas BBQ is primarily beef. Beef brisket and beef ribs are what we're most known for. It's not nearly as hard to avoid pork as it would be with east coast BBQ.

MAJOR CULTURAL REGIONS OF THE USA NEW ENGLAND [Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, most of Connecticut, NE New York] This area has a distinct "Yankee" culture. It was 1st settled by Puritans (a strict form of Protestant Christianity). Most of the descendants moved away from those views and started to stress the ideas of education, secularism and progress. Then, huge waves of Irish and Italian Catholics settle in the area. Today, it is one of the least religious parts of the USA, with most religious people being Catholics. The area is known for natural beauty, highly educated people and many old families from colonial times. It is politically left-leaning and socially liberal. ** MID-ATLANTIC [SW Connecticut, New York City area, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, northern Virginia] This area was originally settled by the Dutch, Swedes, and British. It had a mixture of Christian groups, as well as Jews and even a few Muslims. There was also a noticeable population of non-religious people. Today, it is an area known for its large older cities, and the culture is centered around business, government and media. The area is highly diverse with most of the people being secular or Catholic, however, there are large minorities of Jews, Muslims and Hindus. It is politically left-leaning and socially liberal. ** GREAT LAKES/"RUSTBELT" [western New York, western Pennsylvania, northern Ohio, northern Indiana, Michigan, northern Illinois, Wisconsin, eastern Minnesota] This area was originally settled by German and English farmers, and later became the industrial center of the USA with large factories producing steel, cars, mining, etc. Today, it is a fairly diverse area. Many of the factories have closed and moved away, thus the nickname "Rustbelt". Chicago would be the cultural center of the region. The Great Lakes are huge freshwater lakes and there area also many rivers and smaller lakes throughout the region. Religiously, most people are secular or Catholic, although there are large numbers of Protestant Christians. There are pockets of strong Muslim populations, and significant numbers of Jews can be found in the larger cities. The area is politically moderate to left-leaning, and still supports labor unions more than other parts of the country. Socially, it is moderate to liberal with pockets of conservatism. ** THE SOUTH [southern Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, northern Florida, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, northern Louisiana, southern Missouri, SE Kansas, Oklahoma, eastern Texas] This area has a very distinct culture that was formed as a result of slavery, the American Civil War and post-War Segregation. The British settled most of the area. Wealthy English people tended to take the best land and started the plantation system, that was hierarchical in nature. The wealthy English families owned most of the plantations, belonged to the Church of England and controlled the government. Under them were Scots-Irish poor people, mainly Presbyterian Christians, many of whom arrived as indentured servants. They were the largest group of Europeans in the South. Some Germans and French also settled there in smaller numbers. Under them were the African slaves that worked on the plantations. Like in all the regions, the indigenous people were reduced and either sent westward or located in small concentrated areas. Slightly before the Civil War, many religious revivals happened attracting large numbers of the population to Evangelical Christianity, a new form of the religion based on strict behavior, emotionalism and a literal (fundamentalist) view of the Bible. The largest group was the Southern Baptists who organized into autonomous congregations. This church strongly supported slavery and tried to justify it through the Bible. After the Civil War, most white Southerners who were religious tended to be Southern Baptists. The Black populations tended to have their own churches [mainly Baptist and Methodist]. Small groups of wealthy people remained Presbyterians, Episcopalians (American version of Church of England) and Methodists. These denominations became more accepting of science and did not understand the Bible in a literal way, but rather metaphorical and teaching lessons on how to live. They also moved away from racism. In 1964, segregation was outlawed, and this kicked off a cultural upheaval in the South. The White Southerners used to support the Democratic Party because Abraham Lincoln had been a Republican, however, since a Democratic President signed the law making all people equal, they left by the millions and became Republicans by 1980. What this did was leave the Democratic Party as a center-left party without its racist Right wing, and re-created the Republican Party as a Hard Right Party, chasing away many of the moderate to conservative wealthy people who used to control it. That's why the South is so culturally different than other parts of the country. Also, there is a division in the South between Appalachia and the Ozark regions in the north [known for poor hill folk] and the Deep South and coastal regions [where most of the slavery happened]. Politics in the South is socially conservative and more right-leaning economically. The exceptions would be found in the major cities and the "Black Belt" located in the Deep South, where the politics would be left-leaning and socially liberal. ** GREAT PLAINS [western Minnesota, Iowa, northern Missouri, most of Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, eastern Montana, eastern Colorado] This region is very flat, is prone to tornadoes and is the center of agriculture. Most of the population is of European descent with pockets of indigenous lands. Religiously, it is divided between those who are secular, Catholics and Lutherans. It is economically moderate and socially conservative. ** MOUNTAIN WEST [western Montana, Wyoming, northern Colorado, Idaho, northern Nevada, Utah, eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, NE California, Alaska] This area is sparsely populated and mountainous. It has long-lasting, harsh, cold winters. The area is known for tourism, natural beauty, mining, ranching and an independent state of mind. Most of the population is of European descent. Much of the area is not very religious, however there are significant numbers of Catholics. And, Utah is majority Mormon as well as southern Idaho and parts of Wyoming and Nevada. Politically, it is libertarian supporting Republicans who will allow them to use their land in a way they wish, will not mess with their guns and will generally keep the government out of their lives. ** SOUTHWEST [southern & western Texas, southern Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, southern Nevada, southern and inner central California] This area has more in common with Mexico because of its geography, but also culturally. Many non-Spanish Europeans did not come to settle this region until after the invention of air conditioning. So, there are large parts of it that speak Spanish more than English. Looking at the names of the cities and the style of housing makes that quite clear [San Antonio, Pueblo, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, etc.]. The area is hot and dry desert. It is becoming more diverse, especially in the larger cities and in southern California. Those who are religious tend to be Catholics. Politically, it tends toward left-leaning, but not always. Socially, it is moderate to liberal. However, in the larger cities and in southern California, it is very liberal. ** NORTHWEST COAST [western Washington, western Oregon, northern & central coastal California] This area is known for extreme beauty, huge cool rainforests and strong support for environmentalism and the tech industry. It would include the cities of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose and go south to Santa Barbara. It is a very wealthy part of the USA due to the tech industry. It is culturally diverse with large populations from east Asia [Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Filipinos] and India. There area also many people of European and Latin American descent. It is one of the least religious parts of the USA. Politically, it is probably one of the most left-leaning and very socially liberal. ** HAWAII & PACIFIC TERRITORIES [Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands] This area is made up of tropical islands. The cultural is predominantly Polynesian, however there are large east Asian and European minorities. ** CARRIBEAN USA [Central and southern Florida, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands] These areas are linked the Caribbean culture. In Florida, this is also combined with retirees and recent populations from the northern parts of the USA. Spanish is the main language in and around Miami, as well as Puerto Rico. ** SOUTHERN LOUISIANA [The area around New Orleans and the southern coast] This area is culturally French combined with African and indigenous cultural input to create a unique culture all its own. Many people still speak French. The food is spicy and often includes various seafood. Many people are Catholic.
New York is not part of new england. It's Maine New Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts Rhode Island in Connecticut, or everything east of the New York State border from New York City to canada.
@@decolonizeEverywhere I am aware of that, but culturally speaking northeastern NY has more in common with New England than it does NYC or places in western New York, like Rochester and Buffalo.
@@epongeverte I am quite aware of those similarities and that same area of Northeastern New York has much in common with Pennsylvania that doesn't make Pennsylvania New England either. And frankly, being from Northeastern new york, we're really tired of people calling us part of New England when we're not, along with the irritating habit of people from downstate dividing the state into two parts, New York City and upstate, when most upsetters consider Albany the line between Upstate and downstate.
@@decolonizeEverywhere I didn't say NE New York was part of New England, I said it was culturally part of a larger region that I gave the name New England. The whole point was to ignore state boundaries and explain cultural regions within the USA. Obviously, the boundaries can be debated, but that was the point. North of Albany and from about Syracuse east would be most similar to say Vermont than it would be to the New York City cultural region or the rustbelt cultural region. If you noticed, I divided PA between eastern and western, however, I could have extended the Appalachian South up into central PA, but that seemed a stretch.
@@epongeverte if you want to speak culturally then that larger region you refer to is called the Northeast. New England is very much about state boundaries and not about cultural similarities. Just like the Mason-Dixon line is a line, not a general region.
Not always, or even most of the time. It's usually meant to be sympathetic. Of course it can be snarky, but if you hear an older person say it, it usually not.
I have spent 20 years in the North and over 20 years in the deep deep south, and I can tell you that the only differences are the weather and the level of bigotry. The so called souther hospitality really only exists as an act. I have never experienced any level of hospitality that exceeds what I experienced in the Midwest. In fact, the Midwest is far more friendly. The southerners are full of bigotry and will be nice to your face, but they truly want nothing more than for you to leave.
Ummmmmm…..sharia law is is a body of religious law that forms a part of the Islamic tradition based on scriptures of Islam, particularly the Quran and hadith. This is practiced by Muslims. In Arabic, Sharia literally means "the clear, well-trodden path to water". Sharia acts as a code for living that all Muslims should adhere to, including prayers, fasting and donations to the poor. It aims to help Muslims understand how they should lead every aspect of their lives according to God's wishes. This is a complicated topic and requires deep research.
Death Valley is in California right near the border with Nevada. The highest temperature ever recorded on Earth was Death Valley, July 1936. The temp was 134F or 56.66 C. We despise the government too.
About Evangelical Christianity: It's a denomination centered on personal conversion and experience. Sharing what they call the "Good News" of the bible. They generally are focused on the idea of God's promise to humanity and eternal salvation. The dude making the video makes some mistakes along the way. Lynyrd Skynyrd were from North Florida, not Alabama. The emphasis on slavery is a type of view usually held about the South by people not from here. It's also really weird he talks about how people here talk about politics when it's pretty common for people to talk more about sports teams, the weather, and fishing/hunting. People now usually care less about what color your skin is and more about what college sports teams you support.
Since you asked... "Evangelicals take the Bible seriously and believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The term “evangelical” comes from the Greek word euangelion, meaning “the good news” or the “gospel.” Thus, the evangelical faith focuses on the “good news” of salvation brought to sinners by Jesus Christ." (National Association of Evangelicals) "Evangelicalism has it's roots in Fundamentalism" which was originally a conservative response to the "liberal" tendencies that were becoming increasingly found in mainline denominations. (BTW, theological Liberalism is different than political liberalism) Mainline or historic denominations that are considered to be "mainline" are church denominations like American Baptist Churches in the USA, the Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the United Methodist Church. Other sources add the United Church of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Friends (Quakers)" (gotquestions) Examples of traditional orthodox beliefs which were being abandoned were the Infallibility of the bible, a denial of miracles, the denial of the virgin birth, denial of Jesus' death on the cross as a substitutionary atonement, the denial of the divinity of Christ, (ie some Liberals are Unitarians), they also deny the literal physical resurrection of Jesus etc. Other beliefs held by mainline or liberal churches include accepting homosexuals/lesbians as Pastors, and the belief that one can be a practicing homosexual and still be considered a Christian. Fundamentalists insist on absolutely abstaining from alcohol, where Evangelicals might reply "Jesus was sinless, and he drank wine, so drinking any form of alcohol is not itself sinful. What's sinful is drinking in order to purposively get drunk. Evangelicals would also point to books in the bible like Ecclesiastes and Proverbs which condemn drunkenness, but do not condemn all consumption of alcohol eg Deutoronomy 14:24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26 and spend the money for whatever you desire-oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. Numbers 28:7 Its drink offering shall be a quarter of a hin for each lamb. In the Holy Place you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the Lord. 8 The other lamb you shall offer at twilight. Like the grain offering of the morning, and like its drink offering, you shall offer it as a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more." Liberals often believe in Religious Pluralism or Religious Relativism where the idea is that there are many different paths to God, they believe that "truth" is relative, whats true for you can be true for you, but not for me. Only in science or maybe mathematics are there such things as "objective universal truth". No one is wrong, and no one group of people could rightly be said to be "right". No one (except Pluralists!! lol ;) ) has the total truth of the matter when it comes to theological questions. For them, it often doesn't matter if someone is a Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, if someone adheres to Judaism, everyone--- except for maybe people like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao--- goes to heaven. Liberals also aren't gonna talk much about God's judgment, wrath or hell. In fact, many Liberals are Annihilationists, they believe that anyone that does not go to heaven simply ceases to exist, their souls are completely "annihilated", there is no such thing as a literal hell where there is endless suffering. Or in some cases Liberals are Universalists where it is believed that everyone is "saved" no matter what you believe, including Agnostics and Atheists. All that matters, they say, is whether or not you are "sincere" or if you are a "good person", so far as they define "good". Anyways... when colleges like Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth--- which were originally founded by very conservative Christians/Puritans--- began to drift away from conservative Christian beliefs, a movement called "Fundamentalism" started where Christians kinda gave up on some colleges as they became more and more secularized, and started their own colleges. Today, being called a "Fundamentalist" is usually meant as an insult. In fact, just about anyone who claims to have "the" truth can be considered a "Fundamentalist", everyone that is, except the person who believes that "the" truth is that there is no objective truth except the truth that there is no truth ;) As an aside this denial that anyone can have the exclusive truth regarding truth in general, or theology in particular are more and more considered to be Fundamentalists themselves, whether it be Agnostic Fundamentalists or Atheistic Fundamentalists since they claim that ***their*** beliefs on philosophical or metaphysical issues are "the" objective universal truth. Then out of Christian Fundamentalism arose "Evangelicalism", which sought to be more of a middle ground between Fundamentalism and Liberalism. Evangelicals share many beliefs with Fundamentalists, mostly it seems the difference is how they interact both with secular/atheistic aspects of society as a whole, and how to relate to churches that are "Liberal". Fundamentalists believe in a much more strict policy of little to no interaction with popular culture or liberal churches.
The South has the poorest, least developed and least educated states. Mississippi is the poorest of all 50 states. There is usually political tension between the West and East Coasts and the South. Texas is more Western than Southern but is in a major rivalry with California.
Briggs brings too much of his personal politics into his videos. Also he's not religious, has a disdain for religious people and understates just how very religious other parts of the country actually are.
Cotton would not have been profitable to grow in the South unless the Cotton gin was invented (1793). The Cotton gin separates the seeds from the fluffy cotton fiber. People in rural areas tend to have more of a sense of freedom and independence than people in cities. One has to sacrifice some personal freedom to work in the corporate world and to live in cities. Rural people tend to live a long away from doctors, hospitals, and stores. So one is apt to be more versed in first aid and more apt to "make do" with your own (often termed "redneck" repairs) Example: If you choose to throw your garbage outside your back door and your nearest neighbor is two miles away -- Who cares? (except the people in your own house). If you choose to throw your garbage outside your door in a city. The city police and the sanitation department will be knocking on your door (with a citation and a fine) You have lost the "right" to throw your garbage outside your door because doing so impacts others.
oh yeah, Texas BBQ is trash. they talk a lot of trash for lacking any culinary skills. hey let’s throw 80 cords of mesquite on the fire, that will do it. lol. if you want real BBQ, go to North Carolina or South Carolina. maybe Georgia and N Florida.
@@GenMilleXial OK, just kidding! I'll have to try the Carolina brisket sometime. I'm sorry you don't like Texas brisket. I personally don't care for the taste of Mesquite, I prefer hickory or pecan. Anyway, have a nice day.

As a nonSouthern American, I feel like this guy forgot to mention how friendly and polite the Deep South is. Southern hospitality is unparalleled.
It’s true. I’m a Georgian and everyone I no are kind to all. It’s so normal to invite anyone to eat
Wasn't always like that. Polite, yes. Friendly? Not to Yankees (Northerners). Had a co-worker who went to HS in NYC in the late 70's. Told me his HS Senior Trip was to Texas and their bus got lost and ended up in a small town. They stopped off at a bar to get directions (only place that was open). When the locals found out they were Yankees, they were firmly told (although politely) that they best be leaving. Of course its different now and that ex co-worker now lives and works in the South.
yeah, unless you got melanin in your skin or don’t believe in their fascist version of Christianity.
As a deep southerner thank you.
Hello from Alabama! The heat here can be intense. At this time of year, it's not uncommon to have temps at 95+ degrees (with a heat index at 105+) and humidity at 85%. So, when you go outdoors, it feels a bit like walking into a really hot cloud or a wall of water. You sweat immediately. It can even feel difficult to breathe. If you wear glasses, your glasses will fog up.
Exactly neighbor! (I’m in Georgia).
Same in Louisiana.
Lynrd Skynrd was from Jacksonville, not the Allman Bros.
Death Valley is in California. The South is so hot in the summer. I am from the North and I had to go to South Carolina the first week of August a few years ago and it was WAY too hot!!
Now you guys understand why we are so pissed off all the time 🤣 if y'all had to deal with the f****** heat we deal with on a daily basis.
@@scottbivins4758 Amen!! That is simply the damn truth!
@@cindylawrence1200 u damn right 🤣🤣🤣 people want to talk about how hot it is they've never been in a state where it's hot and humid as fuck🤣 and the shade don't even help it's just as bad as sitting in the sun during the summer it's always the humidity that gets us. 🤣🤣
@@scottbivins4758 True brother!! As an example, when I let my dog outside this AM before light, and even then, I was hit hard with heat and humidity - it was hard to breathe! And u r right, people need to experience the real heat before writing or talking about it! Georgia is HOT!!!
@@cindylawrence1200 same here in NC. Hell you're lucky if you get the wind blowing and maybe it's a cloudy day fold the clouds do cover up the Sun like if you get that you're lucky. Lol especially when it's like 90° but it feels like it's 100° an something but unfortunately it's summertime so you know we really going to get that many clouds to cover up the Sun but we are lucky every once in awhile. At least here in North Carolina. But I believe it gets hot in Georgia hey I've been to South Carolina in the summertime and it's hot as balls down there too. The deep South The heat probably gets way worse I would imagine. Is Georgia just the South or do you guys say it's the deep South? I ain't never figured that out 🤣
the deep south where I'm from in South Carolina is on the same latitude as north Africa and the middle east, it gets over 100 degrees Fahrenheit here during the spring and summer.
I live in the SW desert of CA and it can get freaking hot but it's dry heat not humid like the south.
I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana...We are very proud..I never believed in slavery..NEVER..But I do believe in God..And I love all people but those who oppress others..Not right !!!
I grew up in the Deep South but I’m not originally from there. My family was a military family so we moved around a bit. I was born in northern Michigan but we moved to DC when I was 5 weeks old. At 3 we moved to Omaha and we stayed there until I was around 8 and in the second grade. That’s when we moved to the Deep South. We went to southern Georgia just 12 miles from the Florida border. It was so different and strange to me so we may as well have been in a whole different country! But of course I got used to it and in high school we moved to Savannah, Georgia which was 3 hours away and on the coast. That’s where I graduated from high school. But the south in general is very different than anywhere else I’ve been. I consider myself to be a true southerner now and I’m proud of it
I moved from NY to SC. Do you still get the attitude that “you’re not from here, are you” question? I’ve lived here for 30+ years and still have someone tell me that every so often. 😂

OMG I'm from Georgia born and raised, and southern Georgia accents are sooooo thick it's insane.
The amount of malice in the average texan "bless your heart" that I experienced down there was crazy. It was like cursing someone with a smile.
“Bless your heart “ can be intended different ways…from kindness to insulting…depends on intent.
Exactly! I think the reason the southerners do that is because other parts of our country have preconceived notions that we are stupid. Well, I’ve been to many parts of this world and I still believe that rednecks and southerners have the worst tempers
What did you do?
@lupusalbus3795 I tried to get my dying mother decent Healthcare. The hospitals down there are like 2 decades behind. It didn't help that I'm Catholic.
If you really want to insult someone, it's "bless your little pea pickin' heart".
Brothers, I agree with you. You guys should react to accents again!
You can tell by the guys accent he’s not from the Deep South and is only repeating what he’s been taught or read n
Maybe you could benefit from more reading and education
Indeed. He has many factual inaccuracies and mischaracterizations in this video.
Sometimes Religion and Politics can cause fights between family members and your friends brothers. Thats why alot of ppl usually choose to stay off that topic for the most part
Where I live if you’re not republican you usually try to stay off the topic, but most people are republican and it is one of the first things they’ll bring up to talk about. Even if you won’t partake, they’ll carry the conversation themselves lmao
Death Valley is in California
We have swamps and sinkholes. We don't play, lol 🐊
🇺🇸
It's hot. This weekend the temp was 92°f with humidity the heat index is 115°f. You cannot breath the heavy wet air some days. We get a few inches of snow in February.
I was born in Ohio and have spent most of my life in North Carolina. It's not exactly the Deep South, but it is a Southern State. I have spent time around the South, including the Deep South and his take on the South is the kind of oversimplification common to many Americans outside the South. To say that the slave owners were getting rich off the slaves is kind of erroneous. The Northern States were exacting economic restrictions on the Southern States long before slavery was an issue, particularly with regard to textiles - read: cotton. When it was time for the cotton harvest, it was all hands on deck: Black, white, men, women, children. And don't think that agriculture was simply a primary export. Most white southerners didn't own slaves (though most were in favor of slavery). Most white southerners were agrarian. They grew food for themselves. They might be seen as "poor" but they had everything they needed because they were self-sufficient. They grew their own food, made their own clothing, and built their own houses. That's the "agriculture" of the old South. There were also mining and milling camps. Many of these were run by Northern companies that all but enslaved their workers. They paid them in money that could only be spent in the camp store. They provided a doctor that was focused on keeping people working and a pastor for the church who would preach hard work and loyalty to the company. While many of these camps separated black and white workers, the white workers weren't much better off than the black workers. My great grandfather kept the horses and mules for a mining camp. He also had some skill at repairing shoes so he would repair shoes for the workers for free because they didn't have anything to pay him with - and that was AFTER the civil War. This was life in the South. Many Southerners still have this in their collective memories when they think of Northerners.
Very few people know that black slave owners also existed. Most bought their families' freedom, but many used them as labor. Thomas Sowell gives great lessons on this.
Couple of responses. Death Valley is in California. The heat of the South is considered oppressive because of the humidity. The US Southwest has desert areas where it's a dry heat, and that has its own issues, but humidity makes the actual temperature feel much hotter than it is, because the air is saturated with water and your sweat has nowhere to evaporate to. In the summertime all across the US even up here in NYC, we get slammed by the same humidity dynamics and sweltering heat as the South deals with, but the South gets it worse. Give me a dry desert heat and the safety precautions needed there any day over being slowly steamed to death in the shade.
Also, there is a real political movement which is underway right now being led by the children of privilege at the Ivy League Universities, if you can believe it. Gen Z is in college and they are leading massive protests and occupation movements, and they are freaking out the establishment because these are the children of the wealthy elites, who usually grow up safely conservative. These are the kids who have been groomed and positioned both socially and economically their entire lives under the assumption that from their ranks will come the future Presidents and Senators and CEOs and Billionaires of the country. But they have a well-formed concept of social justice, and they are rejecting the status quo that would have maintained their privilege, and they are mobilizing to occupy the halls of the Ivy League like Columbia University and Harvard to try and force these institutions to divest from all investments in Israel and to raise their voices to the government to insist upon halting the genocide in Palestine. These aren't the poor or even the middle classed kids. These are the children of the oligarch class themselves working to actively dismantle the system of injustice when they don't have to. And this represents a huge shift that is underway. An "American Spring" if you will, to follow the fine examples of North Africa from not too long ago.
The real target though needs to be the dismantling of the Electoral College. There is a political coalition which exists among several of the States, leveraging the concept of States Rights against the Conservatives who usually stand to benefit the most from the Electoral College in recent decades. It's called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. States vote in their State Legislatures when they wish to join, and they become part of the agreement. The agreement being that when the States in the Compact control enough Electoral Votes in the Electoral College system to elect a President (currently 270 Electoral Votes needed), then the Compact will go into effect. And the agreement of those States holds that at the point when the Compact goes into effect, those States agree to legally commit 100% of their Electoral Votes to be cast for whichever candidate won the Popular Vote. Because the Compact States have the majority needed to elect a president, essentially this Compact renders the Electoral College nullified, because the Electoral College was designed to allow the rich and powerful few to maintain control over who the People elect. If the majority of Electoral Vote States are agreeing to obey the Will of the People, then the Electoral System becomes a ritual formality with no power.
Currently the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has 77% of the Electoral Votes that it needs to neutralize the Electoral College and ensure that the Will of the People alone will elect the highest office of the land. Once that happens, American politics changes radically, and the last of the Founder's attempt to ensure that rich white male landowners controlled America will be replaced by Parliamentary-style need to form coalitions and make third- and fourth- party candidates able to win the Presidency once more, like it was in the early days of America.
Check it out. Either look into the pro-Palestine American protests or study up on how the Electoral College is strangling the People of America and holding us hostage to the conservatives who only represent about 33% of the people. You know that something major is shifting when the very children who are hand-picked from the elites to replace the elites are protesting the systemic injustices and political system which they stand to inherit that the system as it was can no longer stand.
Interesting but a LOT of information!
First, having moved from NYC to the West (AZ and now NV) I would agree that dry heat is much preferrable to humidity. 100F with 20% humdity out here is more comfortable than 88F with 95% humidity. You can simply get out of the blazing sun into shade and its much more comfortable in dry climates. But humidity remains with you.
Second, you aren't going to see the Electoral College get dismantled. The original concept of the US was not a single country with a strong central government but a coalition of states (most Americans think of the definition of a state being different than that of a country but in most of the world, a state is the same thing as a country). They would have a collective defense and diplomatic corps but the only thing the central govt was supposed to deal with is relations with other countries. That started changing with the result of the Civil War, but there is still the issue of "tyranny of the majority" which was a concern of the Founding Fathers. And if the President was elected by popular vote instead of the Electoral College, Presidential Candidates would ignore roughly 2/3 of the states as their sparse populations wouldn't be worth going after. So most states have a winner take all Electoral College vote. There are a couple of states where you can split the Electoral Vote, but they are so dominated by a single party (Democrats) that effectively, it doesn't matter. You are more likely to see another American Civil War than for the Electoral College to go away.
Hey Habibi bro's I use to live in Algiers although it's on the West Bank in new Orleans. Now I live on the Left Bank still in New Orleans. Just looked at Google map of Algeria and New Orleans is on the same latitude as El Goléa, Guerzim, Tabelbala...if you can share. Always welcome in New Orleans.❤
Slavery has existed pretty much everywhere in he entire world and every race has instances of people of that race being slaves along with enslaving others. The word "slave" comes from the word "slav" which were Eastern European peoples who were commonly taken and enslaved. Slavic people.
The Arabic world was the unequivocal leader in sheer volume of slaves captured and sold. More Sub-Saharan Africans were sold to the Islamic world than to Europe and the Western Hemisphere combined. There were more Europeans enslaved by North Africans than there were Sub-Saharan Africans enslaved and sent to the Western hemisphere.
the video is wrong about the end of slavery. the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 didn’t end slavery, it just said they could be confiscated in states rebelling against the United States. slavery wasn’t ended until the 13th Amendment was passed and adopted in 1865.
I’d love for them to see a video of Sweet Caroline playing anywhere public in the Deep South 😭 at least where I’m from, literally everyone in the vicinity will stand up and start singing their hearts out
Yeah, I've experienced the culture shock of how open people are about politics living where I'm at in Ohio. Usually, in the rural conservative area I'm in, people will openly discuss politics, even at work. But there have been times when I've hung out with family members in the city and when I start ranting about politics they tell me to quiet down because they see it as impolite, particularly in public. LOL.
Great video guys ❤ We traveled all over the world, but I couldn't wait to come back home to South Georgia, where the people are friendly & a little crazy too 😂
I like that you guys mentioned that the newer generations don’t have bad accents. The southern accents they show in videos and tv are always very exaggerated, maybe people used to sound like that, and some very country people still do, but for the most part we don’t sound that bad anymore
The south is very hot in the summer and it gets very humid, for that reason is more uncomfortable then some countries like Egypt, which I visited in 2019. In Egypt, it was more of a dry heat, as long as I was in the shade or wearing some kind of hat you were fine.
On the other hand, even if your in the shade in the south your just dripping with sweat all the time, your clothes are sticky wet, I was there in 2014 & will never go again! I guess if you lived your whole life there, you might be more used to it, but for me it was HELL ON EARTH, it was so bad!!
Sounds like Taiwan to me. I've been there before and.... Well it was like I was swatted with a fly-swatter....
@@AC-ni4gt Yes, exactly. I know what your talking about, Because Taiwan is not to far from Hong Kong, I was in HK for a month for work & also in Shenzhen, a city in China, just north of Hong Kong & it was very similar in humidity as the US south, but for some reason I don't remember it being that bad.
swamp ass is swamp ass, it knows no borders.
Many different kinds of people suffered from slavery. Its never right.
Slavery was no longer very profitable or economically efficient, many were in severe debt or not making all that much, especially compared to the north which was absolutely booming with industry. Turns out, it's actually far more profitable to pay a motivated worker a wage rather than having to take care of all the basic needs and security of a slave who has no incentive to do their best.
I live in North Carolina and the Southern culture is alive and well. We say yes ma'am an yes sir because we were raised to be polite at all cost. If you are a stranger and we see you struggling we will always invite you into our home for food with our family. We are considered conservative because most of us don't believe in abortion, we are very protective as Christians as to what our children are taught and what they see. We do barbecue really well but with a vinegar based sauce instead of tomato based sauce. We respect that other people don't eat certain things because like I said we are always polite. Though as children not all of us came from wealthy homes so we ate what Mama put on the table or you didn't eat. Here on the coast we eat lots of seafood we love our grits and bacon and biscuits. We might look at you a little crazy but we would never force a guest to eat what we do.
Having seen the entire United States, I'd imagine the best place for an Arab Muslim to visit, within the U.S. is New York/New Jersey. A lot of places in the South aren't really used to seeing a large population of minorities, especially those with non-Christian belief systems. Of course most places in the south wouldn't show discrtimination towards you, but there wouldn't be a lot of amenities that cater to Muslim people specifically. In New York/New Jersey, there is a very large population of Muslim people. You can get Halal food in every major city, there are plenty of muslim places of worship.
NYC really is the crowning jewel of the United States. It's the most exciting and culturally diverse city in the entire world. There's something for everybody. There is nowhere else in the U.S. that you can find as much entertainment, within a small traveling distance, than NYC. Also, if you're looking to sample different cuisines, the 5 boroughs of NYC represent every country in the world. You want to try authentic Mongolian food, Angolan food? How about Samoan food? Whatever you want, you'll find it in NYC.
You ain’t never been to Atlanta have you? 🤣🤣🤣
@@causticchameleon7861 Yeah, they could go to Atlanta, Memphis, Agusta, New Orleans. But I feel like they'd be robbing themselves of the "multiple cultural" experience. Atlanta is basically just 50% white and 50% Black. Not that much diversity there.. I'm assuming they don't drink. They're not exactly close to each other either. I can't imagine a tourist's first time in the U.S. being Atlanta. No disrespect, there's some good people in Hotlanta. Maybe I just say this because I'm Black, but I can't see people traveling 7000 miles with the intention of seeing Black culture; which Atlanta is heavily influenced by. It's definitely something I'd be proud to show people that wanted to learn about it, but I know it's not on top of many tourists lists.
Any big city is going to be able to cater to Muslim tourists plenty fine, but nowhere is quite like NY/NJ. There are 1 million Muslim people in NY/NJ. There's Halal food and muslim cultural centers in every city. And like I said before, NYC is easily the best city in the world for entertainment.
Yes, I have been to Atlanta btw.
I’m from north NJ, this checks out.
@@boblob-law9401 Well honey, I’m 61, born in Atlanta as was my mom and grandmother and, in fact, both sides of my family have been in Atlanta/metro area for over 100 yrs and in Georgia since the late 1700’s/early 1800’s. There are many areas in Atlanta that have Muslim populations and Arab populations. There are at least 10 mosques within 25 miles of my current location. Why in the world would some Arabic young men come here to only visit areas with a similar population to theirs. We have tourist from all over the world come to my small town just outside of Atlanta to experience small town America and to see points of interest shown in movies and to see filming sites since we have multiple movie studios in metro Atlanta. In the city of Atlanta, most tourist come to see popular touristy things such as our aquarium, underground Atlanta and world of cocoa cola (which they are going to tear down and rebuild) not to mention having visions of Gone With The Wind. But I do agree why would anyone visit Atlanta especially these days with its extremely high crime rates. Where you can be shot dead while pumping gas (regular occurrence). Will they get stares because of the way they dress? Of course they will. Just like I got stares when I visited Egypt last year. Plus if they come in the summer and wear those robes and headwear, people will definitely stare wondering when they are gonna pass out from heat stroke. There is more to Georgia than Atlanta and more to the Atlanta metro area than just black and white culture but you must be open to see it which it sounds like you are not.
@causticchameleon7861 Thanks for your reply. I didn't mean to insult your home. I know that Gerogia has a lot to offer. Again, I HAVE been to Atlanta. Both as a "tourist" and on business. My point was to point out that it isn't necessarily the best place for tourists to visit on their FIRST trip to America. Especially Muslim tourists coming from 7000 miles away. There aren't enough places to see that would be equally as appealing as NYC/NJ. But let's say they are into Southern culture and not interested in the NE; I wouldn't recommend Atlanta for the very reasons you listed. It's can be dangerous. Also NYC isn't anything like their culture, it just has amenities that allow them to follow their religion while on vacation. They wouldn't have to travel great distances, just to find halal food, because it's always right around the corner. They wouldn't be stared at because of whatever they're wearing. Things like that.
Growing up in the 60's and 70's the South was a huge Democrat stronghold, while Republicans controlled many Northern States like Connecticut. That stems from the fact that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and freed black slaves would vote Republican in gratitude. Northern Republican politicians and businessmen would move to the destroyed South and take advantage of the Southerners (they were called Carpetbaggers) - and that started the distrust and hate that Southerners had for politicians and especially Republicans. That started changing under Reagan - while the Democrats held both the House and Senate except for a couple of years of Republican control of the Senate - Reagan was able to pass his agenda with the help of Southern Democrats (Blue Dog Democrats). But most Southerners still identified themselves as Democrats. When Clinton was elected and put out the "For Sale" sign in front of the Democratic Party, that made wealthy Northerners to change party affiliation to Democrat (Hillary Clinton came from a Republican family who all switched to Democrats). In turn, white Southerners switched from Democrat to Republican. Democrats now only control the urban cities with their large black populations (and recent immigrants from the North due to starting businesses in the South is so much easier - much less regulation).
Here in Arizona we get summer temperatures of 100°F-118°f (38°C-48°C). Now I am curious what temps Sahara gets. You should do a video for us on your area/continent.
When I first moved to the south I quickly found out that every single person you meet, the very first thing they ask is what church you go to which inevitably leads to them telling you how great their church is and inviting you to go with them
I have moved around the south my entire life, I'm nearly 50 and I've never been asked this.
I have had that happen to me in every southern town I moved to. 😂
@Laura-mi3nv I was thinking the same thing. I am nearly 40 and this has never happened.
@lynnhoffman247 maybe something about you screams "bless his heart, he needs jesus."

I always love when a non-southerner tries to explain our region. It reminds me of something…
it was all slavery.. south lost get over it.
The north.. civil war champions 👍
Raised in south carolina it can get more humid then it is hot down here can get 95 degrees hot wise and 101 in humidity
Southerner. One of the reasons the south is so red, is because of gerrymandering. 65% could vote Democrat, and still end up with a Republican bureaucrat. 18:20
In Texas, every major metro area except Corpus Christi voted blue. 86% of Texans live in urban areas. But of 36 districts in Texas, 23 are rural. So we end up a red state regardless of how many voters go blue.
@@paigeharrison3909 frightening how they can get away with rigging the system.
We had never really been United in the United States of America they're always was and always will be that divide. As a southerner I will tell you yes the civil war was about slavery but it was much more to it than just slavery. When the United States of America was formed they did not make slavery illegal in the president of the United States of America had no right to abolish slavery nor did the federal government that was the People's choice and the country kept on expanding West an accepting new States into the Union and the way the country was set up one side is not supposed to have more political power than the other. And they said slavery could not go above the Mason-Dixon line. Which was attempting to stop the south from having the same amount of political power as the northern states. And what really kicked off the civil war was there was this dude named John Brown who was a abolitionist and he went to Virginia and he tried to start a slave revolt and he got hung for it. The way most northerners look at it was John Brown was a hero and not a terrorist he he was trying to free slaves with violence so a lot of northerners and Yankees look at what John Brown did was right but the South fighting for what they looked at as their right it was bad but my thing is there were laws on the books against helping slaves escape. Slavery was legal in the 1800s. Look at it this way your government tries to tell you no you can't do that no more but that has been allowed since the founding of the country. I don't agree with slavery but I don't agree that the federal government had any rights to try to tell people you can't have that. And a lot of people don't understand either Abraham Lincoln suspended parts of the Constitution in violated People's first amendment right witches freedom of speech Lincoln actually arrested people for sympathizing with the South. The South has always been anti big government we don't want government being involved in every aspect of our life. And that is what eventually ended up happening.
One thing the narrator forgot to mention was how rich sea captains from the north got from transporting slaves from Africa. And Northerns also owned slaves, lots of them. The majority of white people in the South didn’t own slaves, they were poor. Only plantation owners had the money to buy slaves and the amount of land that required a large number of workers, and there weren’t large numbers of them. If you don’t bring up politics most people won’t either, if they do you don’t have to engage. Accent is being diluted because of all the rest of the country coming here to live, especially from the North.
It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity
In California we respect your rights and your choice. Even if you are wrong.
That sounds like the silent majority of the southern states.
Because they accept religion more in their daily lives does not necessarily mean they are more moral than other people. Aggression and abuse is more frequently exhibited between the people
Preach!! So true!!
Exactly!
Slavery is in every cultures’ history. Every race did it. America was one of the earliest nations to abolish it. It still goes on in Africa to this day. And as an American that lives in Mississippi in southern US, I have Black people in my family, and we have some of the best race relations in the nation. Don’t let this video lead you to misjudge the south. We also have the best food.
I’m from Alabama but I say soda… and it does get hot in Alabama sometimes in excess of 100 degrees.
Elvis Presley was from Mississippi. Tupelo i believe and the LS band came from Florida, not Alabama. They have a very popular song called "Sweet home Alabama" though. 🤗
Don’t trust this video, he said Lynyrd Skynyrd was from Alabama, they’re from Florida
we in the south are Strat up work hard play hard I'm from Kentucky been a coal miner 30 years
Lynyrd Skynyrd was from Jacksonville, Florida. Half of the band died in a plane crash in 1977, so that poor Soviet guy missed his chance to see them. We got slavery from our European colonizers. They left it here when we kicked them out and it took the good folks a little while and America's deadliest war to finally abolish it.
Skynyrd still tours. Only 3 members died in that crash (lead singer, guitar player, and female back-up singer). The lead singer's brother took over the lead singing after Ronnie passed.
You forgot the Eagles for Rock .
The narrators confidence in the history of why the civil war came about is one sided and half trothed. And Lynyrd Skynyrd isn’t not from Alabama,they’re from Florida. I’m not even gonna get into the argument of what political party is the majority in the south. This guy narrating is just wrong ✌️
Agreed!
The Narrator Is Right About The Civil War Being About Slavery Ok, The Southern States Try To Cover It Up By Saying It Was About State Rights 👎 No, They Wanted The Right To Keep Minorities Enslaved & That's Wrong No Matter How They Put It, I'm a Christian & I Believe Every Man/Woman & Child Is Equal & Should Be Treated The Same By States/The Government/Job Opportunities/Housing & By The Police/Justice System, So How Can The South Be More Religious But Don't Want Equality For All🤔 Even With Immigration The South/Republicans Don't Want A Legal/Rational Immigration Bill To Allow Mexicans/Other Minorities a Pathway To Citizenship & The Democrats Keep Trying To Pass One For Year's But Trump/Republicans Keep Blocking It, Now Ask Why (If You Brother's Truly Think About Why, I'm Pretty Sure You Know The Answer) Answer Is "Afraid of Some Day Not Being The Majority Race, Which Actually Controls Mostly Everything) Policies & Government/Laws
Slave owners were a tiny percentage of farmers. Like the 1%'ers of today. The plantation owners.
Yes !
He definitely got the political party right. I'm from Georgia.
I was born and raised in the south. I left and moved to Maryland 40 years ago. There are a lot of racist people in my hometown still today. I think that racism is about fearing people that you don’t know. It sounds crazy but that’s what I have observed. If you don’t get to know other cultures then you might fear them. I was surprised when I moved to Maryland how black people have misconceptions about white people. My late husband was black. As with white people from the south, black people have misconceptions about white people. They loved me when they got to know me. On another note, I live in a refugee county. We welcome people from other countries and if they were stopped but the police, they are not allowed to ask for proof of citizenship. I take my grandchildren to a park that is open until 9pm and last night there was a community of about 50 Arab people gathered together. One man was praying on the ground (he didn’t have his cloth with him). They always get together when I’m there. I love it. I do wonder if people from other countries like us. Do they think we are all bad?

The South is burning hot, especially in the summer. Its not a dry desert heat. It's a really hot & humid heat, that makes you sweat. It could be a 90° F. day, and when you add on the humidity, it feels like 120°! It takes a lot to get used to. I've lived all over the USA. My dad was in the military, so we moved a lot! I was born in Louisiana, where the heat & humidity is insane. Then we moved to the comfortable temperatures of Hawaii, then to Tennessee and Virginia...where it was more hot & humid summers, but absolutely beautiful. The mountains of Tennessee are so special and its one of my favorite places in the world. Then when I was 12yrs old, my dad retired from the military so we moved to where my mom grew up & her whole family lived... Southern California. Which has a perfect dry heat & gorgeous weather year round. When I was 14 yrs old we moved again to New Hampshire. My dad was offered a good job there, but I hated living there. That was more of being the new girl in school & being bullied, than the weather tho. Thankfully we only lived there a year, when my dad was offered another job in Ohio. Where the weather is humid in the summers too, although not as extreme as Louisiana. We only stayed in Ohio for 2years, when my mom and I finally talked my dad into moving back to California...we missed it so much. Im 45yrs old & Ive been here ever since, and even though I can't stand the way California government runs this state...it is home!!
I live in NC and if I try to run errands in the summer, I return home as pink as a piglet. It's 100% not the sun exposure because I am super careful, but I am just so fair that just the heat turns me bright pink.
Today, around 2pm, the actual temp in Georgia was 99F but the real feel temperature was 108F because of the humidity. 😅😅😅
@Laura-mi3nv hahaa...I have the same problem!! I'm so fair skinned that when I overheat I turn different shades of pink and red! For some reason, the humidity hits me way harder than a dry heat does! It just zaps the energy from my body, and makes me tired
@causticchameleon7861 I know that feeling!! The worst is taking a shower on hot & humid days and by the time you get out and to your destination...your wet again like you just got out the shower!!
@@sparrowgirl Will definitely be playing out that scenario tomorrow
Regarding politics, the South hasn't always been conservative. That's a factual error. It's largely conservative today, but 70 years ago the South was more liberal. the south has always been a more populist group. The liberals at the time were more populist. Today, the conservatives and libertarians are more populist while the progressives are more elitist. So most Southerners would be classified better as old school liberals where the old school conservatives appear to be more modern liberal because of their elitism and the new conservatives appeal to the average person.
Too many people confuse the South with the Deep South! Oklahoma is part of the South, but it's not the Deep South
Oklahoma culture is very southern, and they consider themselves southern, but it's not the deep south.

Ok people. I'm going to educate you all to something here and I want to to pay close attention. There is a trend happening in the South that needs to stop. It pisses me off to no end. PEOPLE, the phrase "bless his/her/their heart" does NOT mean someone is ignorant. That phrase has been corrupted for far too long. Where I come from, in the south, mind you, it means "dear LORD please take care of that person." It is a form of sympathy for someone and/or their situation. If someone is struggling with something in there life or having a hard time dealing with something in their life, we Christians will usually say "oh bless their heart", "GOD love them, I hope they get better soon". Or if a child is really sick, we might say" oh bless their little heart", meaning we have sympathy for that person. This degrading derogatory meaning people want to contribute to this phrase is insulting to its origins and disgraceful. 😡
Thank you! ❤
We do also use it if someone is a total nitwit.
Apparently, but ALL the people I grew up with and around never ever used it as that. But it seems to be getting more popular for use that way. I just won't use it that way. I'd use something else depending on the situation. But everyone is different .
This video isn't biased at all. I love how he says everyone likes the government other than the deep south. This is bad info. People are losing their faith in the Govt. In every state.
Do you live in the South? I live in SC & this video is not unbiased.
South is different because we have the best food
Truth!
100%!!!! The South has the best food. Somehow, the mix of all the different cultures was just right for creating the tastiest dishes.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a band from Florida, not Alabama.
politics in the south is so depressing. its scary how much power they have over the rest of the country (gerrymandering basically). the narrator is being wayyy too nice about what goes on down there.
I'm from Louisiana where politics is a spectator sport. However, I've lived all over the country. Politics is rough everywhere.
I'm from Georgia!
The narrator is ignorant about the Scots-Irish heritage of the South.
I consider Mississippi the Deep South as well, and North Carolina
yes we are fun/welcoming/food/etc, but fuck the gov
The real reason for the Civil War was the Northern non slave states broke an agreement where if a slave escaped the North was obligated to return the slave back to its owner.
In addition to that Abraham Lincoln was pushing for making slavery illegal in any NEW state to the Union. Lincoln believed that slavery would eventually fade into obscurity and there was no need to make any real moves in opposition to it.
The Confederacy aka the South feared that would eventually lead to the Northern non slave States getting enough votes to outright abolish slavery.
That's is the real reason for the American Civil War. It was a preemptive act to stop the non slave states from bullying them. The South was always less population dense so they always had less representatives in the House of Representatives.
So while they could keep any amendment from passing due to having an equal number of Senators if that were to change due to no more slave states being introduced then eventually they would be outnumbered in both houses and slave Abolition would have been inevitable.
Well it was about State rights. Unfortunately one of the states rights was the right to own slaves
WRONG!!! Lynyrd Skynyrd is from FL and the Allman Brothers are from GA! Dude needs to redact a LOT of crap he spouts!
I was about to come here to post Skynyrd is not from AL. They recorded in AL and one of the songs they are known for is "Sweet Home Alabama" but it's more about their time recording in AL and their experience with the AL ppl
The south is different from the rest of the rest of the country due to slavery. That’s the section of the country that tried to form their own country, the Confederacy (so they could keep slavery). Slaves did everything from working the fields, to trades, to cooking & housekeeping to raising & breastfeeding the white babies (while their own children were sold away). That’s where best food in the country was created by slaves who were given scraps & the food their “owners” didn’t want. Those scraps became the Soul food & BBQ (also known as “Southern” food. It’s ironic the ancestors of people who had absolutely nothing to do with cooking or creating it take pride in it 🤦🏾♀️). A lot of the slave owner’s ancestors try to debate the facts. To this day, there are regular instances of racism that they try to spin, justify or gaslight us (Black people) into believing there’s no racism in America. This country was literally built off racism. (When it ended, the US paid the slave owners for their “loss of property”. Slaves were listed as property like the livestock. Some listed just by age and gender. The owners got paid but the actual slaves were never paid the reparations they were provided for generations of slaves & centuries of work 😒) Some movies I recommend to give more perspective are: 1. 12 Years a Slave 2. Harriett 3. Glory 4. The Help 5. Green Book (Kind of a timeline from around the 1800’s to 1970’s. I also recommend Oversimplified video “The Civil War”. I’m a native & current Virginia resident. I am literally surrounded by US history.
Exactly!
As a Southerner, I have to say the culture working.The land is sad because we are seeing it fall apart. That culture is slowly disappearing.That's the only bad thing about this video that he didn't talk about.

What is harma if that's how its spelled
Haram = forbidden, especially in the sense of not being allowed in Islam.
Eid Mubarak Y'all!
thank you .
And also I might want to add into it was a very different in the 1860s people felt more loyalty to their state than what they did the country. If I had to choose my state over the country I would do it.
And yes I'm a Democrat from Alabama😅
Me too.
It may not seem hot to y’all but the Deep South is extremely hot! In South Georgia where I lived for about 8 months out of the year we had at least 100° temperatures with 100% humidity! That’s just plain miserable!
So the short big picture is.
Wealthy Northern merchant ships sailed to Africa, and the Carribean, locals sold other non tribal members to the merchant ships, who then brought them to the colonies, ALL 13 COLONIES.
The Emancipation Proclamation, freed only the slaves in the Confederate states, it did not apply to Northern states in which still held slaves.
Northern Union General Grant owned slaves, his wife refused to set her slaves free until around 1868. nearly two and a half years after the end of the civil war.
Confederate General Robert E Lee owned zero slaves.
Library of congress holds the U.S. census taken prior to the civil war, inside it reveals 95.5% of whites in the state of South Carolina were NOT slave owners.
Thus the majority of the state population was motivated for protecting state Rights, and not to preserve slavery.
However the catch 22 was the fact that slave ownership was that of a state Right, and not for other states to dictate, or assert their control.
In order for the Southern states to legally assert their Right on a constitutional level, they had to also assert the matters of slavery being the Right of the states authority (the people of a state).
Thus they needed to use slavery as a state Right in order to make secession constitutional.
This is a topic in which I'm highly educated on, and no I was not born in the south.
One of the biggest and worst slave owners in South Carolina was William Ellison a black man and ex-slave.
are you saying that with no slavery there would still be a civil war? no? then the war was about slavery.
Thank you! I get so frustrated when ppl think slavery was just in the south! I would like to see the records of the numbers of slave owners before the Civil War for all the other states for comparison.
@@sarah_beav82 in the 1860 census there were 451,000 slaves in all of the states and territories that made up the Union. There were five southern (Confederate) states that had over 400,000 slaves apiece with Virginia having almost half a million. There were 2,300,000 in the southern (Confederate)states total according to the census.
North Carolina is not the south...???
The United States Federal Government and the individual State Governments methods of running the country will seem difficult to understand at first so PLEASE BEGIN WITH READING and getting a grasp of the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS. This is where it all begins for the U.S. and State Governments.
In the Democratic, Republican and Independent’s parties, there are a vast spectrum of ideas, conservatism to liberalism in each party. There are independent candidates who run a win in various districts with United States Senator Bernie Sands for the State of Vermont is probably the highest ranking office holder of the Independent “party”.
I suggest you spend some time watching how the State and Federal governments work since each U.S. state has its own constitution, laws, state level representatives and senators and a Governor who is the “Chief Executive” of the State. From the states, voting districts are drawn (not always fairly for races and political parties) and from those districts, the people directly elect their Federal Representatives and Senators. The Presidential Election method is a very outdated system and in my opinion, should be changed so that whichever candidate gets a majority of votes wins the election. The courts, the third branch of each state and then Federal Court System is a mess to me but, I may well be in the minority of Americans with this opinion.
Above all, it is absolutely important to read and understand The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. The things that the Federal Government (the national government) are spelled out. I the right to govern a particular issue IS NOT GRANTED IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS OR THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION then the right to enact and govern falls back to the people. The people govern by electing all state officials therefore voicing their opinions and demands and expectations through their State Government.
Evangelical means firm belief in what the bible says.
One use is an adjective, and other a noun. Very different. “evangelicals” vs evangelical (pronunciation but different too).Evangelicals are (by far) a minority in Christians in the US, but unfortunately have too often been associated with US Christianity of late and being overtly political.
@@mic1240 not correct, evangelical Christians aka bible believing are close to 46+% of the population, unlike those who mock any religion outside of the government.
That is not what "evangelical" means. Evangelicalism is probably furhter removed from actual Christianity than any other denomination. You're closer to Mormons than Catholics or high Protestants.
@@Abcdefg-tf7cu look it up, "evangelical" means that you believe in exactly what the Bible says about things, no reasoning your way out of things you know are wrong.
@@terrycarter1137 Literally every Christian "believes in what the Bible says." That is what a Christian is, by definition. I looked it up, and "evangelical" does not mean "you believe exaclty what the bible says about things." It means something much more specific. You don't even know nything about your own religon, which jjst proves what I said about evangelicals not actually believeing what's in the Bible because you haven't read it and/or do not know any of the historical context of when it was written. There's a reason you guys used to think black skin was the "mark of Cain," despite virtually all Biblical scholars agreeing that the mark of Cain was a tattoo.
Guess you wouldn’t like the Carolinas BBQ too much. Seeing as how it’s almost exclusively pork. I imagine a good amount in Texas is pork too. I’ve actually only ever seen beef BBQ ribs once on the east coast.
Some of the big bbq places around Austin have beef ribs, but they aren't common anywhere else. Not that I've seen anyway. We have lots of beef brisket. Usually the pork sells out fast & isn't always available.
Texas BBQ is primarily beef. Beef brisket and beef ribs are what we're most known for. It's not nearly as hard to avoid pork as it would be with east coast BBQ.

MAJOR CULTURAL REGIONS OF THE USA
NEW ENGLAND [Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, most of Connecticut, NE New York] This area has a distinct "Yankee" culture. It was 1st settled by Puritans (a strict form of Protestant Christianity). Most of the descendants moved away from those views and started to stress the ideas of education, secularism and progress. Then, huge waves of Irish and Italian Catholics settle in the area. Today, it is one of the least religious parts of the USA, with most religious people being Catholics. The area is known for natural beauty, highly educated people and many old families from colonial times. It is politically left-leaning and socially liberal.
**
MID-ATLANTIC [SW Connecticut, New York City area, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, northern Virginia] This area was originally settled by the Dutch, Swedes, and British. It had a mixture of Christian groups, as well as Jews and even a few Muslims. There was also a noticeable population of non-religious people. Today, it is an area known for its large older cities, and the culture is centered around business, government and media. The area is highly diverse with most of the people being secular or Catholic, however, there are large minorities of Jews, Muslims and Hindus. It is politically left-leaning and socially liberal.
**
GREAT LAKES/"RUSTBELT" [western New York, western Pennsylvania, northern Ohio, northern Indiana, Michigan, northern Illinois, Wisconsin, eastern Minnesota] This area was originally settled by German and English farmers, and later became the industrial center of the USA with large factories producing steel, cars, mining, etc. Today, it is a fairly diverse area. Many of the factories have closed and moved away, thus the nickname "Rustbelt". Chicago would be the cultural center of the region. The Great Lakes are huge freshwater lakes and there area also many rivers and smaller lakes throughout the region. Religiously, most people are secular or Catholic, although there are large numbers of Protestant Christians. There are pockets of strong Muslim populations, and significant numbers of Jews can be found in the larger cities. The area is politically moderate to left-leaning, and still supports labor unions more than other parts of the country. Socially, it is moderate to liberal with pockets of conservatism.
**
THE SOUTH [southern Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, northern Florida, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, northern Louisiana, southern Missouri, SE Kansas, Oklahoma, eastern Texas] This area has a very distinct culture that was formed as a result of slavery, the American Civil War and post-War Segregation. The British settled most of the area. Wealthy English people tended to take the best land and started the plantation system, that was hierarchical in nature. The wealthy English families owned most of the plantations, belonged to the Church of England and controlled the government. Under them were Scots-Irish poor people, mainly Presbyterian Christians, many of whom arrived as indentured servants. They were the largest group of Europeans in the South. Some Germans and French also settled there in smaller numbers. Under them were the African slaves that worked on the plantations. Like in all the regions, the indigenous people were reduced and either sent westward or located in small concentrated areas. Slightly before the Civil War, many religious revivals happened attracting large numbers of the population to Evangelical Christianity, a new form of the religion based on strict behavior, emotionalism and a literal (fundamentalist) view of the Bible. The largest group was the Southern Baptists who organized into autonomous congregations. This church strongly supported slavery and tried to justify it through the Bible. After the Civil War, most white Southerners who were religious tended to be Southern Baptists. The Black populations tended to have their own churches [mainly Baptist and Methodist]. Small groups of wealthy people remained Presbyterians, Episcopalians (American version of Church of England) and Methodists. These denominations became more accepting of science and did not understand the Bible in a literal way, but rather metaphorical and teaching lessons on how to live. They also moved away from racism. In 1964, segregation was outlawed, and this kicked off a cultural upheaval in the South. The White Southerners used to support the Democratic Party because Abraham Lincoln had been a Republican, however, since a Democratic President signed the law making all people equal, they left by the millions and became Republicans by 1980. What this did was leave the Democratic Party as a center-left party without its racist Right wing, and re-created the Republican Party as a Hard Right Party, chasing away many of the moderate to conservative wealthy people who used to control it. That's why the South is so culturally different than other parts of the country. Also, there is a division in the South between Appalachia and the Ozark regions in the north [known for poor hill folk] and the Deep South and coastal regions [where most of the slavery happened]. Politics in the South is socially conservative and more right-leaning economically. The exceptions would be found in the major cities and the "Black Belt" located in the Deep South, where the politics would be left-leaning and socially liberal.
**
GREAT PLAINS [western Minnesota, Iowa, northern Missouri, most of Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, eastern Montana, eastern Colorado] This region is very flat, is prone to tornadoes and is the center of agriculture. Most of the population is of European descent with pockets of indigenous lands. Religiously, it is divided between those who are secular, Catholics and Lutherans. It is economically moderate and socially conservative.
**
MOUNTAIN WEST [western Montana, Wyoming, northern Colorado, Idaho, northern Nevada, Utah, eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, NE California, Alaska] This area is sparsely populated and mountainous. It has long-lasting, harsh, cold winters. The area is known for tourism, natural beauty, mining, ranching and an independent state of mind. Most of the population is of European descent. Much of the area is not very religious, however there are significant numbers of Catholics. And, Utah is majority Mormon as well as southern Idaho and parts of Wyoming and Nevada. Politically, it is libertarian supporting Republicans who will allow them to use their land in a way they wish, will not mess with their guns and will generally keep the government out of their lives.
**
SOUTHWEST [southern & western Texas, southern Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, southern Nevada, southern and inner central California] This area has more in common with Mexico because of its geography, but also culturally. Many non-Spanish Europeans did not come to settle this region until after the invention of air conditioning. So, there are large parts of it that speak Spanish more than English. Looking at the names of the cities and the style of housing makes that quite clear [San Antonio, Pueblo, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, etc.]. The area is hot and dry desert. It is becoming more diverse, especially in the larger cities and in southern California. Those who are religious tend to be Catholics. Politically, it tends toward left-leaning, but not always. Socially, it is moderate to liberal. However, in the larger cities and in southern California, it is very liberal.
**
NORTHWEST COAST [western Washington, western Oregon, northern & central coastal California] This area is known for extreme beauty, huge cool rainforests and strong support for environmentalism and the tech industry. It would include the cities of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose and go south to Santa Barbara. It is a very wealthy part of the USA due to the tech industry. It is culturally diverse with large populations from east Asia [Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Filipinos] and India. There area also many people of European and Latin American descent. It is one of the least religious parts of the USA. Politically, it is probably one of the most left-leaning and very socially liberal.
**
HAWAII & PACIFIC TERRITORIES [Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands] This area is made up of tropical islands. The cultural is predominantly Polynesian, however there are large east Asian and European minorities.
**
CARRIBEAN USA [Central and southern Florida, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands] These areas are linked the Caribbean culture. In Florida, this is also combined with retirees and recent populations from the northern parts of the USA. Spanish is the main language in and around Miami, as well as Puerto Rico.
**
SOUTHERN LOUISIANA [The area around New Orleans and the southern coast] This area is culturally French combined with African and indigenous cultural input to create a unique culture all its own. Many people still speak French. The food is spicy and often includes various seafood. Many people are Catholic.
New York is not part of new england. It's Maine New Hampshire Vermont Massachusetts Rhode Island in Connecticut, or everything east of the New York State border from New York City to canada.
@@decolonizeEverywhere I am aware of that, but culturally speaking northeastern NY has more in common with New England than it does NYC or places in western New York, like Rochester and Buffalo.
@@epongeverte I am quite aware of those similarities and that same area of Northeastern New York has much in common with Pennsylvania that doesn't make Pennsylvania New England either. And frankly, being from Northeastern new york, we're really tired of people calling us part of New England when we're not, along with the irritating habit of people from downstate dividing the state into two parts, New York City and upstate, when most upsetters consider Albany the line between Upstate and downstate.
@@decolonizeEverywhere I didn't say NE New York was part of New England, I said it was culturally part of a larger region that I gave the name New England. The whole point was to ignore state boundaries and explain cultural regions within the USA. Obviously, the boundaries can be debated, but that was the point. North of Albany and from about Syracuse east would be most similar to say Vermont than it would be to the New York City cultural region or the rustbelt cultural region. If you noticed, I divided PA between eastern and western, however, I could have extended the Appalachian South up into central PA, but that seemed a stretch.
@@epongeverte if you want to speak culturally then that larger region you refer to is called the Northeast. New England is very much about state boundaries and not about cultural similarities. Just like the Mason-Dixon line is a line, not a general region.

I have spent 20 years in the North and over 20 years in the deep deep south, and I can tell you that the only differences are the weather and the level of bigotry. The so called souther hospitality really only exists as an act. I have never experienced any level of hospitality that exceeds what I experienced in the Midwest. In fact, the Midwest is far more friendly. The southerners are full of bigotry and will be nice to your face, but they truly want nothing more than for you to leave.
He overstated the amount of racism present in the South today. The South is actually more racially integrated than other regions of the country.
That’s because integration was more forced on them than anywhere else in the country.
The racism is pretty understated in this particular video. The South is more "racially integrated" because most of the slaves were there.
We do not tolerate the concept Sharia law here.
Where is "here". No region of the US tolerates Sharia law.
Ummmmmm…..sharia law is is a body of religious law that forms a part of the Islamic tradition based on scriptures of Islam, particularly the Quran and hadith. This is practiced by Muslims. In Arabic, Sharia literally means "the clear, well-trodden path to water". Sharia acts as a code for living that all Muslims should adhere to, including prayers, fasting and donations to the poor. It aims to help Muslims understand how they should lead every aspect of their lives according to God's wishes. This is a complicated topic and requires deep research.
i don’t tolerate laws based on what Christers think. so there’s that.
Except the right wing evangelical version of it. Then you're fine with imposing it on other people.

About Evangelical Christianity: It's a denomination centered on personal conversion and experience. Sharing what they call the "Good News" of the bible. They generally are focused on the idea of God's promise to humanity and eternal salvation. The dude making the video makes some mistakes along the way. Lynyrd Skynyrd were from North Florida, not Alabama. The emphasis on slavery is a type of view usually held about the South by people not from here. It's also really weird he talks about how people here talk about politics when it's pretty common for people to talk more about sports teams, the weather, and fishing/hunting. People now usually care less about what color your skin is and more about what college sports teams you support.
Since you asked...
"Evangelicals take the Bible seriously and believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The term “evangelical” comes from the Greek word euangelion, meaning “the good news” or the “gospel.” Thus, the evangelical faith focuses on the “good news” of salvation brought to sinners by Jesus Christ." (National Association of Evangelicals)
"Evangelicalism has it's roots in Fundamentalism" which was originally a conservative response to the "liberal" tendencies that were becoming increasingly found in mainline denominations. (BTW, theological Liberalism is different than political liberalism) Mainline or historic denominations that are considered to be "mainline" are church denominations like American Baptist Churches in the USA, the Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), and the United Methodist Church. Other sources add the United Church of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Friends (Quakers)" (gotquestions)
Examples of traditional orthodox beliefs which were being abandoned were the Infallibility of the bible, a denial of miracles, the denial of the virgin birth, denial of Jesus' death on the cross as a substitutionary atonement, the denial of the divinity of Christ, (ie some Liberals are Unitarians), they also deny the literal physical resurrection of Jesus etc. Other beliefs held by mainline or liberal churches include accepting homosexuals/lesbians as Pastors, and the belief that one can be a practicing homosexual and still be considered a Christian.
Fundamentalists insist on absolutely abstaining from alcohol, where Evangelicals might reply "Jesus was sinless, and he drank wine, so drinking any form of alcohol is not itself sinful. What's sinful is drinking in order to purposively get drunk. Evangelicals would also point to books in the bible like Ecclesiastes and Proverbs which condemn drunkenness, but do not condemn all consumption of alcohol eg
Deutoronomy 14:24 And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25 then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26 and spend the money for whatever you desire-oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household.
Numbers 28:7 Its drink offering shall be a quarter of a hin for each lamb. In the Holy Place you shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to the Lord. 8 The other lamb you shall offer at twilight. Like the grain offering of the morning, and like its drink offering, you shall offer it as a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more."
Liberals often believe in Religious Pluralism or Religious Relativism where the idea is that there are many different paths to God, they believe that "truth" is relative, whats true for you can be true for you, but not for me. Only in science or maybe mathematics are there such things as "objective universal truth". No one is wrong, and no one group of people could rightly be said to be "right". No one (except Pluralists!! lol ;) ) has the total truth of the matter when it comes to theological questions. For them, it often doesn't matter if someone is a Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, if someone adheres to Judaism, everyone--- except for maybe people like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao--- goes to heaven. Liberals also aren't gonna talk much about God's judgment, wrath or hell. In fact, many Liberals are Annihilationists, they believe that anyone that does not go to heaven simply ceases to exist, their souls are completely "annihilated", there is no such thing as a literal hell where there is endless suffering. Or in some cases Liberals are Universalists where it is believed that everyone is "saved" no matter what you believe, including Agnostics and Atheists. All that matters, they say, is whether or not you are "sincere" or if you are a "good person", so far as they define "good".
Anyways... when colleges like Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth--- which were originally founded by very conservative Christians/Puritans--- began to drift away from conservative Christian beliefs, a movement called "Fundamentalism" started where Christians kinda gave up on some colleges as they became more and more secularized, and started their own colleges. Today, being called a "Fundamentalist" is usually meant as an insult. In fact, just about anyone who claims to have "the" truth can be considered a "Fundamentalist", everyone that is, except the person who believes that "the" truth is that there is no objective truth except the truth that there is no truth ;) As an aside this denial that anyone can have the exclusive truth regarding truth in general, or theology in particular are more and more considered to be Fundamentalists themselves, whether it be Agnostic Fundamentalists or Atheistic Fundamentalists since they claim that ***their*** beliefs on philosophical or metaphysical issues are "the" objective universal truth. Then out of Christian Fundamentalism arose "Evangelicalism", which sought to be more of a middle ground between Fundamentalism and Liberalism. Evangelicals share many beliefs with Fundamentalists, mostly it seems the difference is how they interact both with secular/atheistic aspects of society as a whole, and how to relate to churches that are "Liberal". Fundamentalists believe in a much more strict policy of little to no interaction with popular culture or liberal churches.
The South has the poorest, least developed and least educated states. Mississippi is the poorest of all 50 states. There is usually political tension between the West and East Coasts and the South. Texas is more Western than Southern but is in a major rivalry with California.

People in rural areas tend to have more of a sense of freedom and independence than people in cities. One has to sacrifice some
personal freedom to work in the corporate world and to live in cities. Rural people tend to live a long away from doctors, hospitals,
and stores. So one is apt to be more versed in first aid and more apt to "make do" with your own (often termed "redneck" repairs)
Example: If you choose to throw your garbage outside your back door and your nearest neighbor is two miles away -- Who cares?
(except the people in your own house). If you choose to throw your garbage outside your door in a city. The city police and
the sanitation department will be knocking on your door (with a citation and a fine) You have lost the "right" to throw your
garbage outside your door because doing so impacts others.
