Well, you have to know of the stereotype of "the lazy south," where everything is laid-back and quaint. This is s stereotype that goes back to the pre-Civil War era, when firebrands in the north painted the south as backwards, underdeveloped, etc. Conversely the southern radicals painted the north as a land of mercantilism, money-grubbing, crass industry, carpetbagging, etc. The south viewed itself as a genteel culture in comparison to the north, with its big, dirty cities and wageslavery.
The northern mentality has always been a bit revolutionary, but in an entirely different direction than that of the south.
