Contrasts to the South

The South has had a notorious reputation for usually being more conservative in politics and its close connection to slavery and loss. This is in opposition to the Northern colonies in which New York City dwells in that remain much more radical and diverse in both politics and demographics. The South also has less population density, which did result in Agrarian Settlement patterns and usage of vast land for farming and manufacturing, unlike New York City, whose population density is the greatest in the United States. This sometimes results in higher poverty levels due to economic stress, but the South has always been much more impoverished because of the lack of economic power to begin with.
