chosen.content: The Southern States of the US have had a distinct history that has contributed to its culture. During the time of early colonization, the region was dominated by slave-plantation societies with an economy based on the labor of enslaved African people. The presence of slavery significantly shaped cultural values, culinary traditions, music, leisure activities, architecture and much more, including the distinct racial divide between the northern and southern states which has contributed to ongoing issues around systemic racism even today. The historical experiences of these states are unique and important in understanding their culture.

rejected.content: The culture of the Southern States of the US has been heavily shaped by their rich and tumultuous history. Slavery was a central part of the economy in these states during much of American history, and this had deep impacts on the culture and traditions of the region. After the American Civil War, the southern states faced great adversity, but they have been able to rebuild and develop a distinct culture of their own that is deeply rooted in a unique mix of Southern gentility and hospitality and resilience in the face of difficulties.
