chosen.content: The culture of the Southern States in the US has been heavily shaped by its tumultuous history. As enslaved Africans poured into the area to work on plantations and white Europeans colonised the land, it brought with it a variety of cultural and ethnic elements. This, in turn, created unique music, literature and language that can still be found in the South today. This mixture of influences also gave rise to classic dishes, such as barbecue and gumbo, both of which still are beloved regional staples. The culture of the South is deeply tied to its painful and prosperous past, and this fact has left a lasting impact on the region.

rejected.content: The history of the Southern States in the US has had a large influence on the culture of the region. Over the centuries, the diverse cultures and traditions of different European backgrounds blended together to form a unique culture of its own in the Southern States. For example, a large part of Southern culinary tradition can be attributed to the influence of African, Native American and European cultures. 
  
  The history of slavery also has left a deep mark on the culture of the Southern States, both through the legacy of racism it has left behind and the traditions and culture of the African American community that has flourished in the region. Similarly, the history of the Civil Rights Movement has also shaped how Southerners think and live today.
