I consider everything east of Dallas to be Southern

I can attest to the fact that there are an awful lot of people in upstate New York, rural New Jersey and rural Pennsylvania that would fit right in with a redneck family reunion in Alabama.

Nope, don't think most Texans consider themselves as southerners either. They are Texans not southerners. I think florida is kinda the same way, panhandle is southern, but the rest of the state, not so much.

Ohio and most of PA is more redneck than Louisiana.

Yep. It even still has the confederate flag at the state line.

Central Pennsylvania is Alabama.

Hell yeah Texas is a southern state!
Posted on 4/10/15 at 1:58 pm to luvdatigahs
Texas is a whole other country. Everyone knows that.

Yep. Looks like a Texas flag by this ugly NBF statue in Nashville.

Damn.

No and I don't consider Louisiana (at least the Southern portion of the state) southern as well.
Posted on 4/10/15 at 2:04 pm to Tunasntigers92
No. Texas is west to me. Or Midwest at least. It ain't the south. The western border of the south is Louisiana.

What is your reasoning behind thinking south Louisiana is not southern and north Louisiana is?

Culturally, East Texas is as much Southern as any.
So from Dallas Eastward, it's Southern.

I was really referring to the stars and bars next to the Texas flag on the pic I posted at the state line. Was surprised that more people haven't noticed thatt when they enter Texas.
Well not completely surprised. Most people don't know what the stars and bars flag is...

The few times I've been in Louisiana, you can see a cultural difference. I've found that North Louisiana shares more similarities with the likes of Texas, Mississippi, Alabama. South Louisiana, really doesn't resemble other Southern states (South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and so forth). South Louisiana, in my opinion, has it's own unique identity that really none other shares. Is is Southern? Sure. Did they send men to participate and fight in the Civil War? Sure. It just has such a unique identity that no one else shares.

If were going by number of confederate soldiers from a given state NC would win with both contributions and casualties.
Posted on 4/10/15 at 2:17 pm to Tunasntigers92
We sound southern

Louisiana is incredibly diverse when it comes to accents.
