What is the least Southern, southern state?

I'd have to say Florida. Once you get south of say Gainesville, it's just a bunch of displaced yankees.

Texas would be second.

I know I will catch crap for this, but I don't consider Texas a southern State.

I'm going with Kentucky.

Outside of the panhandle and just a bit south there is nothing southern about anything south of st Augustine (and that's even stretching it). Once you move inland though you get a lot more natives and more of a southern culture ...although it is a good bit different than the rest of the Deep South IMO.

Texas isn't southern, but it is "compatible" with the south for the most part. The cultural differences aren't stark.

Florida is the obvious answer, although the appy cultures of North Carolina and Tennessee can clash with the genteel SC/GA/AL/Miss culture at times.

Good answer. Kentucky is separated from Canada by only one state - Ohio.

But my answer is Maryland. It's more like Pennsylvania than the south. The "south" doesn't really start until around Richmond although Delaware is surprisingly southern-like.

Eastern Shore of MD can get pretty redneck. Lots of jacked up trucks and confederate flags.

Here's the thing

Texas is a fricking huge state

Parts of it are "southern"

Parts of it are not

See how it works?

Can we create a list of "Southern Sates." Sounds like we need to figure that shite out first.

That list depends on who you ask. I'm from the Deep South, so I consider LA, MS, AL, GA, and South Carolina to be the South.

Florida is East California.

Of course, I know my list is the Deep South. I know there are other Southern States.

Redneck is not a southern thing. Amazing how many people don't realize this.
