Oh, and the expansion of slavery to territories that did not previously have slavery. Don't forget that one.

Well, I can tell you what it was to most of the people who lived in them: their homes were invaded by armies of the United States.

In the UK we don't really have Rednecks... but we have Chavs... they are our societys downturn...

Wandering the streets causing trouble, starting fights with everything they see... driving around in shitty cars done up to almost look like a rally car but still doesn't... No amount of education, no amount of care and a waste of taxpayer money...

And they talk like retards too..


"What do you call a chav in a box?
- Innit"

"What do you do if you run over a chav?
-Reverse"

"What do you do if you run over a chav on a bike?
-Get out of the car and check.. it could be your bike."

"2 Chavs, Male and female, jump off a cliff to see who hits the bottom first, who wins?
-Society"

German rednecks? Maybe the Ludolf brothers...
Those four guys are running a scrapyard and have made it on German tv.


The Ludolf brothers wrecking a Russian Lada Niva...
"Pedaa, ich faah' diesen Hügel rückwärts maa'..."

Mother Ludolf...

a Vauxhall Nova is filled with chavs, and drives off the side of the cliff. What is the problem?
A Vauxhall Nova only has 4 seats.
(not proofread, but meh. chavs are scum.)


now, on a serious note...

i'd say it is a bit different in the UK. the south-west, the most rural area, was largely wone by left/left-leaning parties in the last election in 2005, although as labour becomes less popular, so does the leftist share of votes, even though labour aren't that right-wing...

many of the cities, such as London, are turning conservative. this is in part, a protest vote, but it's still conservative, as opposed to liberal, but by other countries' standards, the British conservative party is very liberal, in fairness...

German rednecks, you don't only have the Ludolfs!
Just watch the German version of the Supernanny or "Peter Zwegat, der Schuldenberater" and you got them all, every day... some of our private TV channels are so messed-up...

Well TBH alot of Canadians and Europeans seem to not get that rednecks are stereotyped in the South, where there believed to be. In the Northern States (note that doesn't mean states in the northern part of the U.S., its merely states which supported the idea's of people like Lincoln case and point, California).They seem to think that they are equally spread all over, but really there mostly in the South Eastern U.S. where the Confederacy was formed.

I assume any country ravaged by war would have those kind of people, like hwo Germany has those Ludolfs I see here, I assume there could be some *gasp* in France and Russia!
