The key differences between Southerners and Northerners in the United States are largely cultural, political, religious and social. 

Generally speaking, Southerners tend to be more hospitality-oriented, conservative in their views when it comes to politics and religion, speak a different form of English, have a more deeply rooted history with slavery and the Civil Rights movement. In comparison, Northerners tend to be more progressive when it comes to culture and politics. They also have a much shorter history with slavery (or none at all), emphasize individual rights above traditional values like family hierarchy; they can also be quieter and less exuberant in their welcomes toward strangers.   The food of the South is also often seen as Heartier (e.g., gumbo/jambalaya versus pesto or vegetable soup), while many typical northern foods show an emphasis on natural seasonings rather than heavy cream or eggs sauces found south of Mason-Dixon line; these northern flavors can sometimes lean towards sweet & salty snacks that pair well with alcoholic beverages such as light lager style ales or malt liquor rather than sweet tea favored by much of the South  .

Southerners and Northerners in the United States generally differ in their cultural beliefs, accents, attitudes and vocabulary. Southerners are typically more laid back and draw upon a stronger sense of community and a more direct style of communication. Whereas Northerners often possess a more aggressive work-oriented attitude, have very little patience with small talk, and favor an indirect communications style. In the south traditionally speaking English is marked by distinctive grammatical characteristics such as contraction (you'uns), certain word usages (y'all & fixin') plus several speech habits such as drawing out long vowels; all distinct to that region compared to other parts of America.
