Apparently among the many things you are confused about is the meaning of “culture”. There was no real difference in culture in the north and south then or today.
The South today is a little slower to adopt changes bad and good but that is about it. There are slight variations in foods but same language, religion, literature, music etc.
More evidence of your confusion. The differences in culture were & are immense. While they evolved slightly closer in the 18th Century--remember that those who settled in the different colonies had been killing each other in mother country, not so long before they founded different (very different colonies here)--the cultures never merged, and grew further apart in the 1800s.
In Massachusetts, for example, anyone advocating the Quaker religion would be severely punished in the 1650s. (For the third offense, a red hot poker through the tongue was the punishment.) Later, Cotton Mather proposed seizing those William Penn was bringing over & selling them into slavery in the West Indies.
In the South, religious dissent was tolerated--they never even hanged witches!. In Virginia & the Carolinas, people celebrated Christmas--at a time when it was an offense in New England--and adopted a lifestyle similar to that of the English gentry, putting their wealth more in land, as opposed to the far more mercantile culture of New England.
But why go on! Every knowledgeable American knows your statement above is ridiculous. Yet you keep insulting others, while pontificating nonsense. What is your purpose in this?
