I guess it just depends on specific local history with things like that in the South. But overall, yeah, nothing like other places in the US. People came over earlier, and the willing part of that came pretty much exclusively from Northern European places.
I'm Georgian - my heritage is a mismash of English, Irish, Scottish, German, Cherokee, Creek, and who knows what else thrown in for good measure. There's not really enough of any one thing to identify with very strongly (although of course I'm Irish on St. Patrick's Day
), and I'd say this is typical for most Southerners.
