In my mind the American dream has not changed people still want to be successful.

Predestination is the belief that your path to heaven or hell was already decided by God. They also forebode drunkenness, swearing, theft, and laziness. Trying to create the perfect society so everybody went to heaven. 

The people in the south did not believe in predestination. They were not as strict in religion as New England. Had many more slaves than they north because the north had a much stronger work ethic.
