nice detail on the dividing line on Deep South & New France

which ones are the ones where Deep South reaches down into LA? is that EBR, Ascension, & Livingston? if so I'd agree

Their political characterization of New France might be accurate if drawn a lot more narrowly (say Orleans & some surrounding area). No way anyone who's ever been to Lake Charles, Louisiana would call it "among the most liberal places in North America".

Color me pretty damn skeptical of any system claiming cultural overlap between Toronto, South Jersey, and the OK Panhandle

South Louisiana is "one of the most liberal places in North America"?

ETA, To be fair, I do think it's a difficult place for a lot of outsiders to classify and understand, the statement on its face is just rather funny.

Pretty accurate analysis, as weird as some of the names are.

There are pockets of exceptions. Austin is definitely left coast.

My only complaint is that Texas/Oklahoma has almost nothing in common with Appalachia. They're much closer to the Midlands than anything else.

I took 4th grade history.

I was referring to the map he posted.

You're not familiar with the famous Atlantic City-Toronto-Guymon, OK axis?

New France
A pocket of liberalism nestled in the Deep South, its people are consensus driven, tolerant, and comfortable with government involvement in the economy. Woodard says New France is among the most liberal places in North America. New France is focused around New Orleans in Louisiana as well as the Canadian province of Quebec.


That only describes New Orleans. I mean St. Tammany Parish is included in that New France map and it's one of if not the most conservative parishes in the state.

DFW and OKC have a lot of midwesterners but the states as a whole have more in common with the mid south (which would've been a better name for "greater Appalachia")

Just looking at the map, Deep South down through Orlando? Seems odd.
