When was the start of "southern culture" in your opinion, OP?

Probably as long as there have been people here. Native American tribes in the south were different than tribes in other parts of the country. As soon as European settlers first came to the US there was a difference in the culture in the southern colonies from those in other colonies. Different demographics, different economic bases, different food, music, etc.

I'm wondering about relatively modern times, which I'm calling post WWII.
