In Brazil, Southerners are considered rude, busy and smart people, because this region is richer. On the other hand, Northerners are considered slow and lazy, but friendly and warm. Why, in the United States, is it the opposite? Are there any economical or historical reasons?

I can offer no information on the U.S. side, but it might be of interest that the European “South” stereotype is the same as your “North” stereotype. Also, in Brazil, “North” means “nearer to the Equator,” while in the United States and Europe, “South” means “nearer to the Equator.” So a common stereotype might be “warmer climate equals lazy, poor, but warm-hearted people.”
