Growing up "in the country" is a mark of pride among many millions of proud southerners.
You know how to safely handle a gun, you love the sound of bullfrogs on a hot summer night, and you remember "the good old days."
While some people choose to mock the south, they just don't understand that being a southerner is a frame of mind. You don't have to live on a horse farm to be a southerner, though it certainly doesn't hurt!
Whether it be that good, old-fashioned southern hospitality, or knowing what a drop biscuit is supposed to taste like, below you'll find a few pictures that, if you're a true southerner, you'll definitely understand.
And though George Washington may not have slept in your house, you certainly know a few places in town that he has!
