I hope not; if they had better jobs they might feel the urge to come away from the mountains to shop.

Does this map mean that people from Cleveland, OH or rural NY state play bluegrass on the banjo and speak lahk hyillbilly folk from down Dixie way, ah reckin?
>>
>>59047439
I'd say through West Vagina to the area south of Pittsburg would be the limit of that culture. The southern accent doesn't go farther north than southeastern Indiana too
>>
>>59047439
sort of

Shortly after the great depression, there was a huge migration of people from Appalachia into the Midwest to work manufacturing jobs. Like half of Indiana is from Kentucky.
>>
>>59047732
Then what's Appalachian culture about if not the accent? Is it really just bluegrass, having a Scottish surname and living with your entire extended family?
>>
>>59047807
>Then what's Appalachian culture about if not the accent

political ideologies, social customs, values, food, etc.

also there's shit like red hair being more prevalent because Appalachians have a more Anglo-Irish ancestry than the Midwest
>>
>>59047732
Idk. People from Columbus sound like hicks
>>
>>59047807
Hunting, fishing, big trucks, drinking, snapperfests, illegally shooting chickenhawks with high powered rifles, crawdad hunting, frog spearing, truck mudding, frying massive amounts of chicken

Watch O Brother Where Art Thou for premodern Appalachian culture

>>59048012
I'm from a heavily German area of Indiana, they tend to not have the accent

We even have a lot of that culture down here in central Florida.

These maps are always wrong. I live in the South and I never hear people use "coke" to refer to a generic soda. When people want a Coke, they ask for a Coke. When they want a root beer, they ask for a root beer. All sugary carbonated beverages are called "soda" or "soft drinks", we just happen to drink a lot of Coke.

i'm pretty sure they hate more white trash than niggers, who are literally the same garbage, in some cases worse.

but well for them americans niggers are all fantastic singers and dancers, naturally cool, they probably thinks southern niggers are all happy oppressed hicks loving playing jazz and blues, and the rednecks are all ignorants inbreds racist cavemens, like if niggers were more clever.

We did take those into account. That's why Montana has a very irregular western border, and why Utah looks like it has a wedge cut out of it.

Its better than New England, Utah, or the Midwest
