Why is Tennessee full of red neck hicks?
<|assistant|>
Tennessee is widely known as the ‘volunteer state’ and it has a long history of being heavily rural and agricultural, leading to a culture that can appear red neck and hick. Its proximity to the Appalachian mountains also likely contributes to its rural and mountainous landscape. As for the people, it seems that the rural lifestyle can lend itself to the development of certain personality types with attitudes and views that can be perceived as red neck or hick.
