Everyone I know in ET wants to be considered true cowboy cactus Texas.
But they aren't. Just some confused mix of south with a few cows eating around pumpjacks flying through space with no real identity.

Yes and no. I'd say central and northern Louisiana are much more align with the "deep south" culture.
My whole life i've heard "bruh north of I-10 aint cajun." And that's right. It's a different culture than the "deep south".

Yes. People want to act like the Cajun/Yat influence changes that. False. Majority of the state aligns with the Deep South.

Southern and western WV(along the KY border) is the South culturally snd climactic wise.

heritage, religion, food, music, traditions
We share all of these things with the south so why would Texas not be the south?

Southern Louisiana is French (Creole and Cajun), German, and Spanish. Only New Orleans is Irish and Italian and it’s because of later immigration.

They are upper south, or greater Appalachia

Missouri was once upon a time southern, but most of the southerners moved to Texas long ago

And central and west Texas were settled by people from the upper south. Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, and even Virginia and the Carolinas

That’s not true. The OG cajuns went down to Louisiana after being expelled from Canada, some even ended up in the states between (Carolina?) I think
The creoles are the people from the French colonies. They are a separate group from Cajuns, historically.

Louisiana is a traditional "Cotton Belt" state, part of the Confederacy, borders the Gulf of Mexico, etc.
The map is mostly right and and wrong in some areas.
WV, Kentucky, Mizzou (and, frankly, it depends on where you are in Missouri - I'm not sure the Northern corridor with the major cities qualify, but southern and central Missouri do) and Oklahoma should be "sorta the south". Tennessee and North Carolina are "the south". Louisiana, Arky, MS, AL and GA are the traditional cotton belt "deep south" states. Florida is Florida and Texas is Texas.
It isn't any more complicated than that.

The majority of Louisiana residents live in the New Orleans, st Tammany, Lafayette, and Baton Rouge metro areas

East Texas is the Deep South, the rest of Texas is more like the upper south, but it is on a new geography which throws everything off

and would definitely align with the Deep South. St. Tammany and Baton Rouge were part of the Republic of West Florida and not a part of French Louisiana therefore not a part of the Louisiana Purchase. There is nothing about Baton Rouge that makes it French other that then name. Hell, I would argue Bay St Louis is more like French influenced Louisiana than Baton Rouge ever could be.
