southern pride just seem to be the most "out-there" considering i do not see what people are so proud to be apart of?

The rest of the country is pretty much identical as far as culture goes with the exception of California. The South is like it's own country. It has it's own culture, dialects and each state has some very unique piece of history that ties it in with it's neighbors. You can't go anywhere else in this world and find a place like Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama.

maybe New Orleans?

there are plenty of poverty places in the midwest and the midlands similar to Miss and Alabama - those places are everywhere.

Now that, I disagree with, and I say that having lived all over the country. Not that the South isn't pretty different, but the Midwest is awfully different from the West Coast and from the Bos-Wash corridor.

The Mountain West is actually pretty close to the South culturally in a lot of ways. There are large parts of California, Washington, and Oregon that are much closer to the South than they are to their own fellow statesmen. A place like St. Louis or Indianapolis is way, way different than Boston or DC.
