I wonder if the town in Tennessee that left such an impression was called "Pleasantville," because I have never heard of any other town that sounded so much like an old movie. As a person who has lived in cities and towns in the South all of my life, I can say with absolute certainty that there is generally no harbored resentment over the result of the Civil War. Furthermore, most people identify with their state or region of the country before they identify themselves as American. This happens everywhere; that's why our country is called 'United States' and not simply 'America.' Southern women may be a little more proud than their Northern or Western counterparts, and so they may take more pride in their appearance. And they may be a little kinder, and so may be kinder to their males. However, we certainly don't center our lives on men. Perhaps the people you met were all part of the same shallow circle and were an atypical representation?
