Introduction • In the 1800’s the North part and the South part of America differed in many ways through speech, dress, and interests. • In the South they talk with a “southern drawl” like “Yawl” which is a informal contraction of you all. Or “A Larking” which means to engage in harmless mischief. • While the North took a more proper approach to day to day speech unlike the South. For example instead of saying “Yawl” people in North America say “you all”. • In the South people dressed in a heavy cotton shirt open at the neck, a vest buttoned over the shirt, and a pair chaps which are very long and wide full length pants. • In the North they began wearing jeans and deerskin. They also had casual and proper clothing. • In the South some of their interests were hunting, cattle ranching, agricultural activities, bull riding. • In the North some of their interests were industrial activities, farming, trading, and hunting too.
