Personally I'd be ashamed of my regional heritage if the only thing that made it different was slavery..

Looking at the south, there's not much else they can be proud of. Mississippi was god's mistake. Luckily its surrounded by other shithole states. It's like having warning signs before you enter a danger zone.

That's quite a bit reductive. We have a lively history of activisim, resistance and rebellion along with the modern cultural influences and destination cities that people flock to far before the fly over states

Half tongue-in-cheek.
