And this is what the South should gain its pride from, to slightly mention sentiments from another thread that I don’t want to derail this thread with.
The South has strong cultural significance with jazz, the more pastoral life compared to the more urban Northeast and Midwest, the food, etc. It is very unique in that it is a blend of European, African, and even Latin American influence, but the Black culture as a distinct ethnic culture based uniquely in the South is the most beautiful thing. From historical pain came essentially a distinct American culture that wasn’t just a continuation of European culture.
