This is a good post. "The South" as a sole term is too nebulous. While all states on that list are Southern IMO, it's wrong to include TX and FL as "The South". Both would chafe to be called Northern and I think neither would be bothered by Southern but both are more a subset of the South, Texas in particular.

Texas, for better or worse depending on your perception, is of it's own.

Resistance is futile.
