    Blair mountain, I’m specifically referring to Appalachian and Ozark Scots-Irish descended folks. The term Redneck got a wee bit bastardized during the 20th century, mostly due to being slapped onto every poor rural American sub culture when before it’s glorification post WW2 most poor WASPs would’ve shanked you for the implication.

    Also the reason I’m making this exception is because the very first Rednecks were an early labor movement back in Scotland, their descendants in the early to mid 1800s started to adopt the aesthetics and terminology.
