My people come in part from the region.

When the government stole (uh, I mean purchased) the Appalachians for the "Great Smoky Mountains National Park", the hillbillies flooded out of the mountains and into the piedmont then down into Texas, Arkansas, and points west. Most "redneck" southerners' roots are in the Appalachians.
