i watched a couple of old movies set in Southern USA and I was pleasantly surprised to see how honorous and noble everyone was. kind of like 17th century French culture combined with elements of British culture.
The only decent place in the USA where commerce and the filth it produces didn't rule all is gone now. All of the USA has become like NY and California, the anti-"privilege" places.

the south isnt homogenous
the plantations and swamps are on the southern coast mesr the gulf
most of the south is woodland and rolling hills, then theres deserts in texas and grain fields in oklahoma
race wise its almost always blacks or whites, with blacks dominating urban areas and whites dominating rural areas.
lots of guns, huge honor culture, inexpensive lifestyle.
few gommie or sjw-style stuff thats native to the area besides out-of-state college students
everyones a fat ass, except when you go into the mountains
hot as fuck
dangerous white people that have lots of kids
far right militiants here and there
lots of contained murder zones
good food
strong christian element, probably the most fanatic in the western world.
lots of liberals moving here to gentrify it and make it like the state they just moved away from
lots of poverty, traditions and folk tales
illiterate people and funny accents
low key secessionism
very fun if you arent born in poverty

That's what they call "The Old South". From Savanah Georgia to Richmond Virginia. It's actually a surprisingly beautiful part of the country. Ladys who go "ooh la la, mister governor" and "well I say" and men who are men who are real men and will challenge people who question their manhood to a gentleman's duel.

West of the appliachias it's plains, deserts and the wild west. The old south is more 13-colonies and plantations and all that.

Let me put it in perspective for you:

The region of New England is literally the same size as England

Texas is the same size as Germany.

New York, a very average state in terms of land area is about 1/4th the size of France.

Very few parts of the US are wastelands; combined with a large population, natural bearers, a history of sectionalism/distrust of large, centralized, non-local government and you can see why we have so many states.

Slavery wasn't as pervasive as movies and slave tales paint it as.
In the realm of being rich, it was, but in the realm of being an average farmer, sailor and artisan it wasn't.
And the South was underpopulated at that time. There were 9 million people in the whole region, so inherently it'd be much poorer. It was undermanned and the lack of manpower to grow the economy was filled with slaves. The agricultural situation at the time was maintained by white farmers. >>52059279
Now it's 100 million people and we are the largest economic region of the US.
South accounted for 70% of US exports before we seceded too. It was never a one trick pony economy.

You couldn't be more wrong. For most of the pre-civil war period, Northern and Southern political power was balanced -- quite deliberately. Neither side for the longest time wanted to rock the boat over the issue of slavery; the real point of contention was whether slavery would expand in the west. Even then, balance was attempted to be kept. Most Presidents up to that point completely ignored Slavery, so as to keep the balance (and voters). Lincoln didn't originally want to end slavery, only stop its expansion in the west. When he was elected, some southerners threw a hissy fit or not getting their way for once. I same some because secession was not a unanimous decision in many states or among southerner. Jefferson Davis only accepted his presidency reluctantly, due in part to a feeling of obligation to do so, for example. Another example is the fact that Virginia didn't join the CSA until months after the deep south did, and it really could have gone either way whether it would joined or stayed.

So please, stop all the revisionism and "evul northerner" crap please.

I live in Georgia. Up until last year, the really rich and old-money Fraternities and Sororities at my university would have an Old South Pageant every year and wear those outfits and Confederate soldier uniforms.

It was banned last year after the blacks protested outside the dean's office for a week. Now instead of beautiful white girls in beautiful dresses with handsome southern gents, we have sluts in yoga pants and an oversized t-shirt with guys in snapback hats and sweat pants. PROGRESS! ITS 2015 PEOPLE!

Seriously, girls used to literally fight each other for a chance to go to the Old South Pageant. Now we are just culture-less swine like the rest of Obama's America. I fucking hate 2015 tb.h f.am.

Bad progress.
I think there was not a problem if black people participated in Old South Pageant.

2015 of the true meaning is that not only white people but also black people participate in Old South Pageant together.

...But I'm not sure what the Confederate soldier uniform means for Americans desu.

Hey, I'm not saying you should feel bad over it, you had literally nothing to do with it. Doesn't need we need to throw parades because they made that boo boo WITH HONOR!

No one down here thinks the South is ever going to actually "rise again" unless the country totally Balkanizes and falls apart. The flag is a part of our heritage and identity. No one looks at it and thinks "Damn do I hate niggers" like the rest of the country insists we do.

And you are from Florida. You aren't Dixie. You guys are the worst state in the entire country.
>>
>>52061803
Not at all. White poverty is a big thing in the South and Midwest. It's funny because they're generally super racist when they act bretty similar to inner-city blacks.
>>
>>52061843
Coming from a fucking South Carolinian with Confederate ancestors, our identity and heritage is shit.

And in fact our 'heritage' isn't what most southerner's heritage was at all; it was rich white people who had the luxury to build a heritage off the back of black slaves, all the while sending poor bumfuck farmers who didn't even own slaves to die so they could stay rich.
>>
>>52061833
You ever wonder why they fly a battle flag and not the actual Confederate flag? Or why they idolize Robert E Lee and not Jefferson Davis? I have no ties to the South, my mother's side of the family are all Tejano and my father's side are Germans from the Great Lakes region, and I'm far removed from the Deep South yet I have no trouble understanding why they do it.
>>
>>52061843
Really, huh? What makes us so bad? Our Space Program? Disney World? The fact that we have anything, anything at all? And I don't have any illusions of anyone thinking that anyone takes secession seriously. But you don't need to glorify it? What State are you from, buddy? What's the highlight of your state?

You are such a c.uck. Less than 2% of white Southern men owned slaves at any given time. The other 98% were farmers doing their own god damn back breaking labor on their own, and they did it with pride and stoicism. But yes, keep patting yourself on your back for spouting 10th grade World History memes.
>>
>>52061882
There is literally nothing wrong with slavery. Those slaves you condescend had a life of dignity and hard work. I'm pretty sure they had a stronger sense of purpose than they do now in their drug-riddled, aids-infested ghettos suffering from high crime rates.
Ancient Greeks and Romans had slaves as well. Everyone has his own place and position in society. There is nothing shameful about being a slave.

That's what he said. And the southern aristocracy, who's wealthy ancestors came over, with indentured servants, the poor's ancestors, so they could become incredibly rich, conned them into dying for them.

>>52061988
Yeah, and lynching blacks in their free time because a white woman claimed she was raped or being proud of blacks being stuck in perpetual poverty. Believe it or not senpai, being a stoic farmer that worked from dawn until dusk ain't exactly a unique heritage.

The wedge issue was slavery but they were still resisting Northern efforts to control them

You may not realize it but states rights were a lot more important back then
>>
>>52062098
How is that edgy? You are the edgy one thinking that all men are fit to be citizens.
>>
>>52062180
Buddy, state's rights were important to them, but slavery was THE cause of the Civil War. Read my state's secession letter (South Carolina) and it's spelled out right in it that they're seceding because they were afraid the North was going to prevent the spread of slavery and/or outlaw it, all because Lincoln was elected.

For region nowadays to bent on following the Constitution, they sure couldn't handle following the lawful succession of presidents.

>>52062299

I literally had a disclaimer about it being primarily over slavery in my statement you fucktards

Still in principle, it was about a region that had no need or dependency on slaves, trying to control a large region that very much did, and a defense of autonomy in that regard
>>
>>52062203
Nope you are the one that's edgy for still thinking everyone fits into categories, of your choosing, that fit your world view. You put yourself in the power category, the non-slave, because that way you feel a bit safer about life, "others of my choosing are lower than me", you get an internal feeling of power. But you will grow out of it eventually, assuming normal socialisation.

Only ever went to the airport. From what I hear it's like someone created a composite of all the bland cities-with-suburbs in America and spread it across 70 square miles of southern NC.
I feel the same way about Virginia Beach/Norfolk/Hampton. Not a bad area, but very average with nothing really distinctive about it.
>>
>>52062351
no no I was conceding! 350k Union soldiers died because they REALLY REALLY loved black people and hated racist shitlord oppressors, and 300k Confederates died because fuck black people right
>>
>>52062320
What do you figure they were fighting for, anon? Because to the rich dudes back home, they sure as well were fighting for slavery.
>>
>>52062462
They just really really hated black people and all went off to die to spite them, of course.

>We tried it in the 18th century and it didn't work, so obviously the Constitution is the best and only option.

The population of the US now is almost 100 times what it was when the Constitution was written. The idea that a form of government established for a group of people smaller than Ireland is today can apply to a country that spans a greater distance than Paris to Moscow and has a larger population than the UK, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, and Poland combined is ridiculous.

>>52062203
Dude if Western society were divided into caste systems, you and almost everyone else on this Chinese cartoon forum would either be enslaved, killed, or starved to death. Caste systems are beneficial to nobody but the people on top. Everyone else suffers.The fact that you think slavery or castes was an acceptable system compared to the current one is profoundly stupid and probably autistic. We need class mobility in order to get the most out of our population, and yes, that means underclass people as well. Slavery and castes restrict the talent pool.

I'm from an upper class family. And I think more people than you think here are not poor.
40% citizens and 60% slaves would be great. You are being silly if you think nobody her comes from families belonging to the 40% richest or most powerful in their respective countries, which is nothing extraordinary.
>>
>>52062855
Yep, love hearing an arm chair discussion from a high class dude from one of the richest countries in Europe about the merits of slavery.

Considering every time mass slavery has been tried in history, it failed, I don't really see what you find to alluring about it.

I'm from Washington state and I would love to visit the south.
If I were you I would totally ignore the nay-sayers in this thread, because all they are doing is shitposting.
Almost every single state has dumb nignogs, some more than others, so it isn't a great argumentative point against the south.

The south has great food, great culture and beautiful cities.
You should go.

This is the most accurate description. >>52058068

On paper it's statistically the worst region of the US but it's pretty fun, and despite the populace having a lot of poverty, racism, education and drug addiction issues, they're generally friendly and pleasant people to be around. Expect many of the negative stereotypes to hit you hard out of nowhere though.

This. I've always thought it's funny how the closer to ghetto nigs, white people act, the more they dislike them. It's probably some weird mixture of self pity and blame shifting.
