Who are the Appalachians?

Just who are the people of Appalachia? The Appalachians are one of the most negatively perceived groups in the United States; oftentimes being portrayed as backwards, uncivilized and prejudiced, however their history and culture is inextricably tied to that of the entire continent and is often misunderstood.

The Appalachians are unlike any other regionally-based cultural group in the US, and hopefully this video gives you insight as to why. Thanks for watching!
