How Southern are you? part I

Currently one-third of the America's population resides in the South. With all these people living here, it's hard to determine who the "true Southerners" are. People of the South have shaped the soul of America, but do you know about this region. Most of the country simply writes off the South as "The Red States." That maybe true, but we are more than that.

Are you Southern, or do you think you are smart enough to answer questions about the South and its people? This quiz is the first of many to test your knowledge of Dixie
