Abstract

One of the most consistent issues students of Southern culture have grappled with for over a century is what precisely makes the American South a distinctive part of the country; that is, apart from geography is there a mindset and particular set of behaviors that distinguishes the South from the rest of the country? One of the most consistent qualities attributed to Southern character is a strict though congenial code of civil behaviors.
