I'm curious about American states. What are the differences in terms of culture and nature between each state? I recently road tripped from Spain to Sweden and I noticed many minor differences along the way (and many stereotypes being true, especially about frenchies).
Redpill me on the states Americans

This dialect map will give you a general overview of the cultural regions but of course there's more to it than that.
But there's basically three overarching mega cultural regions. Lighter color represents mixed regions, so North Carolina and Virginia tend to be a mix of both North-Eastern culture and southern culture.
Red= North-eastern culture (West coast is a transplant of North easterners originally)
South = Green
Midwest = blue

Well, Swedebro, the further West you go, the more similar speech patterns become. The East Coast is characterized by who settled those regions hundreds of years ago while the further west the more generally "American" things feel. Bostonians sound very English as do other New Englanders while some speculate that the rough accent from New York comes from the Dutch. The South has quite a lot of Scottish influence. The Midwest and West is more true to the "melting pot" and that is the accent you would learn in school if you studied American English. It came about there and is actually fairly uncommon in the East and South unless you are young. If America were to colonize Mars they would all speak like they were from the West Coast.

This is rather idiotic. Californians actually speak more like Midwesterners except for the whole valley girl thing and a few slang words.

But the East Coast is the most American part of America

The only real answer to this should be soda, pop doesn't make sense at all, coke is an abbreviation of coca-cola, and soft drink is not specific enough.

Also I think you're getting the South and Appalachians confused
The Appalachians is basically full of only Scots-Irish descendants

dialects are the easiest way to identify cultural regions tho

Are there decent states with only white people in them and I can go to private school with all my dudebro white friends?
>>62072099
The only dialects in America are generic, Appalachian, ebonics and the Tangier Island dialect.
>>62072002
Not really. The East has a longer history, but each region has too much character to be thought of as generically American. America was born in the West with the Manifest Destiny.

As for your point here, I disagree. The Carolinas alone have quite a lot of Scotch influence in dialect and cuisine and this isn't just the Appalachian part of the Carolinas. Only the upper class in the South was English, while the Ulster Scots and Irish made up the people.

>Appalachian accent
That's like saying "Mediterranean Accent"

The same difference that any big country has inside it. It's not like Saint Petesburg is the same thing as Vladivostok.

I guess this is why you shouldn't trust Wikipedia

I think I prefer Wikipedia.
