If all one knows about the “north” is folks from NYC, Philly, and Boston, allow me to suggest that you know JACK about folks from the north.

There’s a lot of rural territory in them thar northern states, and the people are every bit as kind and decent as those from the rural areas in the south.

You are right. As a native of the south I am compelled to agree with you.
