    Default The Southern Culture of Honor

    Most don't know this, but the clan system is very alive in the South. Southern culture is extremely clannish. If someone fucks with our family, we fuck with their family. It's apart of the Culture of Honor. The hypothesis below is, in my opinion, very correct. We genetically have higher testosterone levels and are more prone to violence. It's our mindset and it is quite literally hardwired into our minds. This can be seen in any conflict involving Southerners.

    The "culture of honor" in the Southern United States is hypothesized by some social scientists[1] to have its roots in the livelihoods of the early settlers who first inhabited the region. Unlike settlers with an agricultural heritage (mainly from the densely populated South East England and East Anglia) who settled in New England, the Southern United States was settled by herders from Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England and the West Country. Herds, unlike crops, are vulnerable to theft because they are mobile and there is little government wherewithal to enforce property rights of herd animals. The theory is that developing a reputation for violent retribution against those who stole herd animals was one way to discourage theft.

    This thesis is limited, however, by modern evidence that a culture of honor in the American South is strongest not in the hill country, where this thesis suggests it has its cultural origins, but in Southern lowlands.[2] These observers argue that poverty or religion, which has been distinctive in the American South since the Second Great Awakening in the 19th century, may be a more important source of this cultural phenomenon.

    Additional theories have pointed out that the culture of honor may have its roots in the settlement of the region by members of British aristocratic families. [3]

    I would say it's more common among Southerners. It's a trait of farm folk. Very protective of their kinfolk.

    Of course. You mess with one of us, you're messing with us all. Why would we want to let some insignificant punk ass try to disrespect us by abusing the kindness that one of us is showing him? It's blood, man.

    That is a great example of the culture of honor. The Hatfield and McCoy feud is one example of the various clan wars that occur in the South and border states.

    The Hatfields should have stayed out of the McCoys' business.

    This mindset, as I said, it hardwired into our minds. I am quite proud of it. It's so fascinating. The old aristocracy still resides in the South.
