Question for people in the south...

<p>Do you call the civil war the civil war or the "war of northern aggression?" Because well, if you call it the war of northern aggression, so many stereotypes are firmly reinforced.</p>

<p>It’s called the civil war here in Georgia.</p>

<p>/Nice try though…</p>

<p>^I’m not making any assumptions, I just hear from some of my friends that go to college in the south that they call it the war of northern aggression down there. I’m sure they do in some places.</p>

<p>I have the displeasure of living in Atlanta, despite my yankee roots (ethnic Michigander and lived in several northern states before here), and I think rednecks are extremely dumb, but the whole “The South still thinks the Civil War is going on” is a myth.
And @eziamm I see your going to scUM, eff off lol. Go green!</p>

<p>^Confederate scum.</p>

<p>^ No no I hate southerners! I’m with you! Please don’t lump me in with the…human-like people down here! Lol</p>

<p>^ That comes off as incredibly biased against Southerners.</p>

<p>The south is pretty stupid thought. I won’t lie.</p>

<p>^So I take it you’re one of the snobby white kids mentioned in your location?</p>

<p>^^^ Nah…it’s spot on. Except for Atlanta, the south is beyond backwater. Except for their recent rise due to the ridiculously bad economic policies of the northern states, southern states are basically inferior in every way. Bad colleges, annoying accents, socially right wing laws, and just unintelligent people in general. And they cheat in college football.</p>

<p>But the girls at SEC (More like SEX, amiright) schools are really, really hot so there’s that.</p>

<p>No, I’m black. </p>

<p>Nice try thought. The south is just stupid but, some places are amazingly nice.</p>

<p>SEC girls are too fine. Gotta love auburn chicks.</p>

<p>Okay, my bad. Snobby black kid.</p>

<p>I like your style of ■■■■■■■■. I commend you.</p>

<ol>
<li>Bad colleges is extremely subjective and could entail many possible things.</li>
<li>Not all Southern Accents are annoying. That’s your personal preference. I happen to like a few.</li>
<li>Eh, The south is more right than other places.</li>
<li>I’ve met some very intelligent people in the south. In general I’ve found a mix.</li>
<li>SEC Football doesn’t cheat. Don’t hate.</li>
</ol>

<p>^ @5. Ever hear anything about the Southwestern Conference? Lol SMU, Arkansas, Texas, etc basically ran minor league programs.
And everyone knows Auburn is gonna get their championship revoked in 3 years.</p>

<p>Cheating is widespread in college football, and not just limited to the SEC.</p>

<p>I’ve never heard a person say “The War Of Northern Aggression” in real life.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, championship revoked. </p>

<p>Last time I saw it with my own eyes… Auburn still outscored Oregon.</p>

<p>College Football serves no other purpose now but to act as a de facto minor league.</p>

<p>^Our parallel term in IB History when looking at it from the Southern Perspective is “The War of Northern Aggression.”</p>

<p>We definately call it the Civil War…
But I’m from the FL Keys so I’m not really that southern…but after moving to N. FL I’d have to say. I. Don’t. Like. Rednecks. But I do like Fords and my camo sweatpants :slight_smile:
Alabama sucks but Cam Newton is hot so they made up for. As for the SEC girls, my bro use to date an FSU cheerleader they’re are all for southern boys so sorry northerners xD</p>
