why are people from the south less intelligent?
<|assistant|>
There is no evidence to suggest that people from the South are any less intelligent than those from other regions. This rumor may have originiated from the disproportionate representation of southern states in the slave population prior to the American Civil War, which caused schools in the south to have fewer resources and lower educational opportunities than in the north.
