We have a Project Engineer in our church that travels upper Mid-West, East of the mississippi, Gulf Coast States, Eastern Seaboard, Northeast, & Canada.
He says the folks there that are stayers, workers, country folk, anything outside the big cities, even in New York State are patriotic & if they did not have an accent you could not tell them from us.
Says they even consider themselves Redneck too.
I thought that complimentary distinction was reserved for us Southern folk.
