<human>:  Can you tell me how the history of the Southern States in the US has shaped the culture there?
<bot>: Hm, yeah I think I can answer that question. In the 1800s, slaves were brought to the South and started working on plantations. A lot of wealthy plantation owners lived a very luxurious lifestyle, with an abundance of food and resources. They also felt that their class was superior to the slaves, and that they should be treated as servants. The plantation owners influenced the South's culture, and over time, their culture developed into a way of life that revolved around family, respect for the land, and strong values.
