Southern Culture
It is surprising how much of what passes for "American"
culture is actually Southern culture. In this section, we
hope to introduce, or rather re-introduce, Southerners to the roots of
their culture. As much as any other people, Southerners have a very
well developed culture consisting of food, music, art, literature, dance
and even manners and mores that differ from the rest of America.
You may be surprised to discover just how much of what is truly Southern
culture has been adopted by the rest of America and been taken for granted
as "American" culture. You are invited to explore the
material here, as well as the many links provided. If you know of
anything else that you might think should be included here, we encourage
you to
and let us know what it is. We are always willing to consider the
input of others.
