    I'm "47% Yankee - Barely in the Yankee category." apparently. A lot of the questions didn't even list the pronunciations I use.

    I was really curious about that North vs. South stuff in USA.

    How far was it dealed historically? What kind of differencies and difficulties did occur between the two during formation of modern USA ? Is there still some kind of trigger that can drive things towards splitting up ?

    Thanks in advance..

    I'd summarize a bit, though the issue was more complex than it seems.

    1. there is no longer any real "trigger" to cause things to heat up anymore. Cultural differences between the two parts exist, of course, but that's no longer a cause for conflict. Slavery, the most important issue between the two, is long gone. Besides, Federalism has taken its toll on the "identity" of each states; except perhaps Texas.

    2. during the formation of the USA, there was social/economic difference between the southern colonies and the northern ones. But there was no political "conflict." The south was more rural, and its agriculture-based economy relied much on slaves. The north, on the other hand, had more merchant/craftsmen population and more commerce going on, and more towns and cities too. The issue of slavery would only came forth during the rise of abolitionists around early-mid 1800s under the influence of the resurgence of religion in America. (Called something along the line of "Evangelical Awakening" in which parts of the religious argued that slavery was, after all, against the teaching of Christ.) Accompanying this issue was the issue of "State's right" in which both, among other factors, led to a climax when Lincoln was elected president. Even though Lincoln was more moderate than percieved, the southern states recognize his victory (and the old Republican party) as the end of slavery, unless, of course, they secede. This led to the Civil War, where the Union was victorious after a bitter conflict. The south's basic cultural and social organization were left in shambles with the defeat and the end of slavery. Though, of course, many slaves continued to act like slaves for a long time because, apart from outlawing slavery, no real effort was made to change their lives. The gradual actual transition from "slaves" to "citizens" was slow until the 1960s with the Civil Rights movement.

    Thus, the cultural difference were based on the early difference between the Northern and Southern colonies; where the south's rural, slave-based economy differ from the north's more urbanized, more mercantilistic economy. And we know that economy is tied closely with society itself.

    There was a difference in the proportion of slaves:all population between the northern part and the southern part of the USA. In which the south had much more slaves (black, mostly) than the north. Though this difference decrease in time since the days before the Civil War. Nowadays you won't see that much difference. However, if we also put in context others, such as Spanish descendants, mostly Mexicans, also are numerous in the southern parts of the US today, compare to the north. But that's to be expected. And Asian immigrants (me too :) ) mostly live in major urban centers, especially California, such as: Los Angeles, New York, San Diego, Chicago, Las Vegas (me), etc.

    There were some population differences between the caucasian populations of the old north and south. More German, Ducth and Scandanavian colonist in the north. The south had a rather large percent of Scotts in some areas. Also some of the southern colonies were populated by indentured servants by England clearing out its debtors prisons.

    There was a massive difference back in 1860 (just before the Civil War.) The average negro population of the South was 39%. In the north it was negligible (2% slave if you include border states.) The slave population was as high as 57% in South Carolina and 55% in Mississippi. Soutern states seceeded in nearly the order of their slave population (higher = sooner.) In South Carolina and Mississippi the percent of households owning slaves was nearly 50%. All of this is from the 1860 Census.

    Lincoln did not threaten slavery in the states that seceded. He (and the Republicans) vowed not to allow slavery in new territories or newly admitted states. The South had several ways to prevent outright abolition, and even to counter what the Republicans intended, but they concluded that they could win a war and/or that the Union would not actually fight to keep them from seceeding. The border states, having far fewer slaves, and more economic ties to the North, did not secede. Ironically, West Virginia seceeded from the secessionist state of Virginia, so that it could remain in the Union.

    Slavery and its aftermath have shaped a great deal of internal American politics. Post Civil War, Democrats in the South were largely in favor of a sort of apartheid system--keeping blacks from voting, etc.

    After desegregation in the 1960's by Democratic administrations, the Democrats effectively "lost" the South and their political "machine" weakened. It took decades, but a new generation of southern Republicans courted the constituency that had formerly been Democrats. This is the so called "southern strategy" that has brought the Republicans into control of the House, Senate, and Oval Office.

    Well this is going to be long...what is commonly referd to as the south has been the former confederacy and border states (Texas Lousina Mississippi Virigina the Carolinas ETC.) and the north is pretty much the rest of the country (socially speaking) as A3 mentioned the civil was brought on between states rights and slavery but after that the next 100 years would truly shape the socialogical diffrences we see today. After the war the souths economy was in shambles and 3 out of 5 men of fighting age had been killied and with that pent up anger the south went backwards while the north went forwards. The south introduced the Jim crow laws and poll taxes for blacks severly damiging there abilty vote therefore although there were more blacks in the south than whites they still kepped power now lets go forward to the civil rights movement at this time change was sweeping across the US MLK and Malcom X were two of the more promonient rights leaders. This would be the souths biggest growing pain for 20 years men were shot beaten and robbed as the rights movement kept pressing forward. Even after the rights movement race-relations are still a touchy subject such as the stars & bars on the Mississippi flag and while we have made progess there are still people who believe they are better a good example of this is in 2000 Alabama wanted to get rid of a law that barred interacil couples from marrying the law passed but with a 41% minority saying the law should stand. This and many peoples inderict racism is something the south needs to get over. All this mentionned above leads to the sharp social differences the regions have many Yankees consider southners to be Unwashed bible beating morons and southeners to beleive yankees as being unsaved glutonos pigs although these are steryotypes some people put quite allot of faith in them. Today many in the south see Americas moral decay with the laws for gay-marrige and numores other things have led the south to be by far more conservative than other region and really being the power base for the republicans. The south also tends to be more religous than the north and more evangilical for example Most of my family lives in Boston and my cousin was getting bapptized now when I attend service there are 800 people there regulary toping 1000 around Christmas when I went up there there were 57 people I kid you not and the minister complimented on a good crowd. The service was only about 30min long only about a third of which I attend on Sundays. Many people in the north also seem to be more snobby and genraly ruder than the gentleman in the south as we are kind loving and caring folk while they are snobbish and hurtful~ There also seems to be a divisnon in what people want in the south life can be summed up in 3 simple words God Family Football I dont know what they want up north. and while northerners seem to have an affinty for drogs such as oxycotin and coke we will stick to beer and dip. While they deam of owning a buisness we dream of owning a ranch While they dream of driving a Beemer a pickup will do fine for us . (Towards the end I sort of got off base but I hoped this helped)
