With that being the case, tons of folks from these areas migrated north to find work in the factories once most of their land had been "bought" or seized for mineral rights (see coal). I have quite a few distant relatives, and some close ones who did just that in the 40s-70s. So you see, it stands to reason, that the very people these folks are making fun of, may just be down the line in their very own ancestry.
This is true and many won't admit they have aunts and uncles who speak southern, Ky. Although most dead, because it was a very "tough" generation. Lots of violent points of views (at least in my family) and whiskey. I guess the two go together. However, the hardest working SOBs of their time. Some will read what I wrote and poke fun. Some will know exactly what I'm talking about.
