What does the Piedmont have to do with it? The geography of the redneck is the South. Particularly rural Southerners who like to wave Confederate battle flags, listen to country music, and inbreed. In fact, when I think of redneck, I think of places like northern Florida, Alabama, Mississippi. Rednecks who live in the piedmont can also be referred to as Hillbillies. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
