what was the social like in the North,South,West, and Midwest? what was political like in the North,South,West, and Midwest?

True.
Not definitely true, but taking into consideration that your family love you unconditionally means that regardless of stereotypes defining you, they will brush that aspect aside and focus more on who you truly are and your true personality. 

When I say "not definitely true", I mean that there is the occasional family whom does not support their children ( family member ) , judging them and pressuring them along the way.
