Dinner and Discussion Group:
In the United States, is the North versus South cultural schism expanding or shrinking?
A Comparison of Northern and Southern States in America (less academic)

Wikipedia entry about Southern Culture (not necessary a completely reliable source of information; however, this Wikipedia entry appears to be relatively accurate)

Also, some of you are reading Steven Pinker's book The Better Angels of Our Nature. In this book, Pinker talks about the honor culture in the South that may lead to more violence or at least a greater acceptance of violence when honor is at stake.

Yes, I remembered the word 'rift', but in context of the meeting, the tone of the question was not that there are stimulating differences, but rather a source of animosity.
