Briggs tried his best to explain the deep South in 14 minutes. Bless his heart.😘

[glenncheatham]

Love being Southern. The only bad thing here are the people moving here and ruining it.

[timothymaxey]

I've lived in the deep South all my life, but have traveled a lot. I was in California recently, I would smile and speak to people as I walked down the street and no one spoke back. They looked at me like I was about to rob them. It was very sad. Btw, Lynyrd Skynyrd came from Jacksonville and the Allman Brothers came from Macon, Georgia.

[WorldAccordingToBriggs]

Dammmmnnnn....You guys are good. I didn't think anyone would catch that Lynyrd Skynrd isn't from Alabama. Most people think they are from Alabama. They are, in fact, from Jacksonville, FL. I know one was born in Pittsburg, but the band and most of the people in it were from Florida.

[timgoodsell]

I retired to South East Louisiana 10 years ago after 40 years in Chicago. Best decision I ever made. Love the people, the traditions, the food, the topography. You could not drag me back to the North.

[barbaragrider]

I am lucky. I live in Mississippi. Nobody is moving here! They would if they could get past the stereotypes and their prejudice to see who we really are. Mississippi also has beautiful wilderness areas and is on both the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. Their loss, my gain.

[KYBlooograz]

As someone who grew up in the Northwest and moved to the south, it may not be for everyone, but it's the best decision I have ever made.

[creswell]

You didn't mention the fact that southerners are generally more polite than the rest of the country. A lot of children are taught to say "Yes mam & no sir." Polite children use mam and sir frequently. They are generally more friendly, as a whole, than in other parts of the country.

[nancysmith]

The Southern people are lovely for the most part. Great people, food. Climate. Easy to live here. Bless your heart.

[RealityCheckGA]

As someone who's family has been in Georgia since 1820. And North Carolina and South Carolina prior to that in 1720. The south has a lot of history pre civil war and pre slavery. And it's history really starts in the 1400s. Not 1800s Civil War and Slavery times. The area was filled with 3 different empires fighting for control. As well as warring native american tribes.

[bma]

I’ve lived in the Deep South most of my life. This is a pretty good overview but missing details about southern hospitality and manners

[SocialStudiesBob]

As a 9th generation Floridian who lived in GA and Alabama the Panhandle is far more like Alabama and Mississippi than the rest of Florida.

[fatherterryjohnston]

I’m a convert to the Eastern Orthodox Church who grew up in the Deep South. And while I’ve always known I have an accent (I served in the Marine Corps with guys who couldn’t wait to tell me how thick my accent was), it didn’t really become a “thing” until I went to seminary up north to train for the priesthood. And now that I’m serving as the pastor of a parish (in the upper South, no less) it seems to have become even more of a curiosity. Our church has had an significant influx of visitors over the past year, and when I asked one of our longtime members where all of these new people were coming from, I was informed that many of them had heard about the priest who “talks like Elvis” and just wanted to see for themselves. 😂

[firefighterc]

There's a saying in Florida, the further north you go, further south you get. So yeah, you were pretty spot on about Miami.

[angelsoulnme]

As a NYC transplant to the south almost 20 years ago now I will tell you it took my family and I about 2-3 years to get over the culture shock and acclimate. Edited to add i would never ever ever move back to NYC and I am now a proud conservative

[bubbaandrayearl]

In the deep South a lot of our food was shaped by the Civil War. Black eye peas, greens, grits and chicory in coffee to stretch it are just a few examples. Prior to the war peas and greens were cattle food. I live on the bayou. Here in Louisiana we are a little different. We were settled by the French not the English. The accents can vary widely in just a few miles. Texas on one side, Mississippi on the other and Cajun and Creole on the bottom. Stir that up and OMG. It gets crazy and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

[justtheilluminativ]

I’ve visited many southern states throughout my life, and while they have their drawbacks (i.e. bugs, humidity, heat, poverty), there’s just something about that region that makes me want to return after every trip. While it has a checkered past, the South has some of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. Georgia, West Virginia, and Mississippi are my favorites

[wtk]

To be fair, every region on earth has its own unique cultural quirks. It's why travel is fun.

[dickjones]

Southern distrust of government can be traced back to English crown rule. Southerners came from regions of England, Ireland, Scotland that were oppressed by English kings for centuries. The English aristocracy became the Northern ruling class here in America and Southerners resented them. There was distrust between these two groups going back hundreds of years.

Also the Civil War happened because the US Government didn't want to lose half their colonies plus the revenue they produced. It was more about money and territory than anything else.

[chriscosby]

I have lived in the Mountain West, Midwest, Southwest, and the South. The South is my favorite area -- great people and great weather. Alabama and Tennessee are my two favorite states.
