What stereotypes were often applied to people living in the south?

-They have accents

-They all live on farms

-The girls are blonde and stupid (Belles, they're called)

-They have farmer's tans

-They don't have any big cities

-They can ride horses really early in life

-They swim in creeks before they can walk

Now I was born in the south and I know this stuff isn't true, but that's what some of my Northern friends think.
