This is the passage that caught my attention.

“Now Yankees pour into Virginia, Florida, and the Carolinas in a concentrated campaign to dilute and destroy what true vestiges of Southern culture have not already been replaced by the Northern–manufactured ‘Proud to be a hick’ phenomenon.”

I know what the Yankee invasion has done to my home state of North Carolina. North Carolinians with long-standing historical ties to that land are becoming fewer and fewer (with respect to the overall state population). Below you will find an essay about how Yankees invaded and transformed Hernando County, Florida:

The key passage is “These transplants came down here and the first thing they did was to infiltrate the County Commission so they could “correct” things that they felt needed fixing in Hernando County.” That would be the Yankee mindset. Many of them feel the need to come in and “correct” Southerners. By the way, this guy has a cool sign.
