SOUTH JERSEY TRUCKER HAT

New Jersey is a place where state pride runs deep, but always seems in conflict. Fierce regional battles are waged over everything from geography to meat to the pronunciation of words like "home" and "chocolate." South Jersey actually once voted to secede from the north in 1980. A call to secede by Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Ocean and Salem counties was approved by all but Ocean on election day (Gloucester and Camden counties opted against putting it on the ballot). Had it moved forward, a the country's 51st state would have been created largely from what was once West Jersey in the 1600s.
