I watched a TV show last night called so you think you know Dixie. It was a combination of history and comedy. When they asked what the main resource of the South was I thought Cotton. It is neither cotton or moonshine but Junk. Many of our so called modern conveniences came from things they cobbled together for junk. It showed many places with from 8 to 20+ old cars and pickups in their fields and they are there because they know that sometime they may use a part off one of them on one of their convention. And they had a hard time naming just what makes up the south. Texas was the easiest to agree on. Florida isn't part of the South, it is just a state that happens to be in the South.
