The "Deep South" was very romanticized for right reason. Louisiana, indeed, was a big part of that. However, today it is totally gubmentized. Build the ghetto!

Shrevport is obviously texas.
Shreveport was settled by people from Georgia, North Alabama, South Carolina and southeastern Tennessee. So was the area of east Texas west of Shreveport. Shreveport is culturally more Deep South.

Geographically? Sure. Culturally? No. We are different than the rest of the Deep South from accent, food, religion, and other norms
If you could split the states up north LA and other areas could be Deep South, but as a whole the state isn’t culturally aligned with MS, AL, etc

The “French” in Louisiana is emigres from Haiti and the like. There simply wasn’t that many people who settled here from Nova Scotia. The overwhelming majority of them went back to Europe.
I didn't realize this until I vacationed in Maine recently. The ancestors of today's Cajuns actually went back to France after being expelled from Acadia and ended up in Louisiana (via Sainte Dominique and other French colonies) during the Spanish Colonial Period.

I understand that, but what you are saying makes us "different" is mostly New Orleans, and some surrounding parishes.
By and large, Louisiana is the Deep South.
Having lived other places, and traveled extensively in the US, I never met anyone that didn't think Louisiana wasn't a "southern" state.
(Anf not just in the geographical sense)
That said, everyone wanted to or had been to NOLA and had a great time.
Did they think NOLA was like Birmingham or Memphis? No, of course not.
But they didn't see Louisiana as that much different from Alabama or Mississippi.

About as deep as it gets.

Louisiana is different from the Deep South of MS, AL, GA.
Not an insult but no it isn’t “Deep South”

Correct. The only thing Deep South about us is geography

Map is incorrect and probably created by a damned Yankee or some scallawag. Louisiana IS the deep south. (I would allow Mississippi, Alabama, and the southernmost 1/3 of Georgia to be included as well.)

Outside of Livingston and Tangi the entirety of south LA which spans roughly 18 million acres is wildly different than MS , AL, etc

You line up someone from Nola, or Lake Charles, or Opelousas (all places multiple hours from each other) and make them talk next to someone from GA, Al, or MS and it’s nothing alike while those other three states are fairly identical

Let’s go to the gulf. Thinking a Catholic named Pierre Falgout from golden meadow is anything like a Baptist from Montgomery called Mark Freeman is crazy

I truly didn’t think someone was stupid enough to think an Opelousas or Nola accent was like GA or MS but here comes Mingo biting ankles
