Speaking as a somewhat Southerner...I grew up with Brer Rabbit in the Uncle Remus Stories...though they're not what I'd call "politically correct"... :-P
And there's other early American Myth- tall tales like Paul Bunyan and such...
The Headless Horseman
Also, for an African influence, stories about Anansi...
Plus, I remember reading a collected book of Aesop's fables as a kid....
