What are the differences between Northerners and Southerners?

accents
foods
opinions of the other (what northeners think of southeners and vice versa)

terminology – what northeners may call one thing – southeners might not know what tht is

I was raised in the north, and now live in the south. People in the north are louder, have a better sense of humor, don’t refer to the people from the South as Rebs, and seem more educated.

People from the South are slower and quieter. They don’t get a joke for nothing, and always refer to people from the North as Damn Yankees. Even when you tell them you find this offensive, they keep doing it to your face and behind people’s backs. Southern people eat more deep fried foods cooked in lard, and tend to be heavier than people in the North. Lord, I could go on.

Their accents/ dialect. Also their culture and heritage. People in the south tend to be more religious than people that live in the north. Ever hear of the “bible belt?”. You could write a whole essay just about that. You could also write about the south’s french and spanish heritage. You can find many references for creoles and cajun. Not to mention the climate and landscape of the south. You could write a lot about country music and southern folklore. Just take a trip to the library. I don’t write to your essay for you, but I hope I got you off to a good start!

the north is more urban, like the south is more country. the accents, foods, cultures, and just ways of life in general differ when you cross the border. it is also much colder up here(; the south are more polite and joyfull(ex: mardi gras) while the north are load, rude and complain alot but we still are happy.(im from the north and im admitting it! its very true)
