The confederacy would not have worked for the south as a whole. But they would have abolished slavery.

Because ignorance and bigotry are not things the South has a monopoly on.
Winnar!!

Honestly, many who look down on the South have never lived here. Yes, there are some bad things about living here, but they're bad things that are prevalent everywhere else in the US for the most part. I think you guys just get hung up on the accents. :p

The accents are damned sexy on every chick (except strippers).
Depends where they're from. Contrary to popular belief, there are a wide array of Southern accents....some nice.....some not so nice.

(I know you know this, just for the edification of others ;) )

Good point. TN bothers me, but South Carolina rocks. :D

<----- South Carolinian :)

I think you guys just get hung up about the male federal employees wandering around in public wearing leather chaps and thongs. :p

Fixed :p

I lost count of the number of times I almost walked into something looking at the women in Charleston, SC. It's ridiculous.

BTW- dont' tell the Yankees....there's already too many of them down here. :p

My lips are sealed... ;) but Charleston really does have a lot of beautful women because there are about 4 colleges in the downtown area...
