Found this on the American Civil War page. I know that by this point I shouldn't be surprised by their tendency to shove video game terminology everywhere, but still that one strikes me as incredibly idiotic, even by their standards.

What the fuck, TVTropes.
Noticed that was on ATT's page for that topic too (now removed), and I think I get what they are going for here, so let me translate the autism to English:
The South, much like many elven species in fiction, though of other races as lesser, lived in a more agricultural society, and saw themselves as highly cultured compared to their competitors.
The North was supposed to be like many dwarves, in that they were seen as more industrially based, more urban, less cultured, and saw themselves as the hard workers who weren't up their own ass about how superior they were.
It doesn't fit for two reasons: The trope about FICTIONAL elves vs. dwarves like cultures, it's not really applicable to reality.
Second, as someone who knows the history of both societies, it wasn't that cut and dry and in many ways they weren't all that different, as both sides viewed the other with contempt over many of the same topics.
