Mr H. I grew up in the Blue Ridge foothills of North Georgia. We did not have that many black people in the town where I grew up but we had a lot of racist white folks who were otherwisw good hard working blue collar types (textiles, logging, hard-scrabble farms) and their speech did not lend itself to dropping R's but rather to add emphasis to the "R". The people I grew up around would have talked about the state "guverrment" in "Adlanner". They would say "guvment" only to mock the blacks that they held in contempt for their black skin and held down because they needed someone to be lower on the economic ladder than they were.
Now I don't know for sure what MM had in mind, but I think I know what he had in his heart. If i'm wrong I'm sorry, but he is going to have to go a long way to demonstrate that I am wrong.
