No, I am not racist and I do not want any other comments, I would just like my question answered please, thank you!

Could you please tell me what town, county, or area fits my description best

I'm looking for a place where every speaks English and everyone is Christian and goes out to Church on Sunday. I'm looking for a place where having a party doesn't involve getting drunk or smoking pot. I'm looking for the most traditional place in America. Somewhere that is as close to pre civil war as possible. Where all the kids say ma'am or sir and they dress properly, they have manners and open the door for people. A place where people drive American cars and fly American flags. I'm looking for an area where I can go to a McDonalds or get my lawn cut by someone who is actually an American. Somewhere where people play traditional Old time music and bluegrass. I'm looking for a place that is NOT "multi-cultural". Please do not answer "any place in the South" because it's just not that way anymore.

Maybe I'm dreaming? Any responses are greatly appreciated, thank you!

West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, western North Carolina (except the Asheville area), northern Georgia, rural Oklahoma.

Also, if you don't mind the Midwest: rural North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, parts of Indiana, southeast Ohio, the Missouri Ozarks.

I would suggest southern Utah, but that's mostly Mormon.

Thanks for the response! Would most of those places fit my description right on?

I understand you want a conservative town, but pre-civil war in nature? What's so good about that? You want to own slaves too?

My guess is small towns in either Southern Appalacia or the Ozarks. (though in a number of places there just aren't many people period)

In order to keep this thread on topic for General US, it must stick to geography and AVOID national politics and issues. The latter are only on topic in City-Data's Politics and Other Controversies forum.

Suggesting places that meet the OP's requirements is OK.

Suggesting that the OP's requirements are good/bad/smart/foolish/etc. or providing details to support any of those qualitative judgments is off topic in this forum.

Hm.

//www.city-data.com/top2/h10.html

That's a list of places with the highest percent being English-speaking. If you want somewhat bigger towns.

//www.city-data.com/top2/h12.html

On religion...

Pew Forum: How Religious Is Your State? (http://pewforum.org/docs/?DocID=504 - broken link)

That indicates religiosity by state. Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina look to have the highest in church attendance while also being high in belief in God and importance of religion. (Utah is lower on those) Of those five states Mississippi and Tennessee are apparently "dry by default" with counties having to allow alcohol.

So I guess I'd say look for a town in Mississippi or Tennessee that's on the "Most English speaking" list. That's no guarantee you'll get what you want though as some may have alcohol shipped in from other counties or clandestinely grow marijuana.
