What means southern land?

The United States is a very big place. It is bigger than Europe or Australia. The country is divided into "states" with each state having its own government to make local laws. But certain sets of states have geographical areas. The "South" is one of these. There is "North", "South", "Midwest", "Plains", "South West", and "West". Each area has different cultures and variations of English. The "South" is an area made up of about 12 states, and they share a common way of life that is slightly different than the other areas. The South tends to speak slower than North, is less rushed, and is more rural than the older North. Because there is more land, people live farther apart. The South relies more on individual cars rather than mass transportation. It is hotter in the South than other areas of the country. The average summer temperature is 32 degrees C. The average winter temperature is 12. "Summer" lasts well into October or even November, and the winters are very short. Spring planting begins in February, and crops are available as early as April. The South is more relaxed about life than other parts of the country, and less concerned about being a part of corporate life. The South has a culture that is more mannerly and leasurely than the North or the West. There is more time to enjoy the land.
