re: What is the largest city that didn’t buckle to the anti-confederate trends?

You’d be wrong
What is the largest city that didn’t buckle to the anti-confederate trends?
Posted by justaniceguy on 4/18/25 at 1:47 pm
A lot of cities decided to remove their confederate monuments and other pieces of history that remember it. What are the bigger ones that didn’t?

If he gets off I will be moving out of San Antonio immediately. Either to midland or down south in the middle of nowhere or another state.

re: Why is southern Louisiana “the south” but central and west Texas are not?

Instead of shutting down the threads of people that want to talk about history and learn valuable stuff why not just make a history board?

Central Texas as a whole was far more Anglo than German. The Germans were in specific places.
The hill country itself is only about half German, and that doesn’t even encompass all of “central Texas”. Really I just meant the parts that are not “East Texas”

I would respect that opinion as it is pretty consistent, but I think most southerners who think of both places as “not the south” would still feel more at home in southern Louisiana for some reason.

Southern Louisiana is Catholic, settled by Acadians, French, and some other groups.
They never got a large settlement of Anglo southerners.
West and central Texas did. They quit farming and starting ranching, but they are still Protestant, they still eat similar foods to the rest of the south, and their ancestors are the same people that make up Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, etc.

West and central Texas were settled by people from Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, and the virginias.

I would wager most southerners have ancestors from both categories. I do.

Pretty sure a lot of scots Irish came through Pennsylvania although that may have been later on?
A lot of them were indentured servants, the first batch was majority English and then after 100 years or so they switched to half scots Irish.

Fair enough!

I actually didn’t know much of this either. Amazing!
I have an ancestor from Kentucky that came to Texas and was speaker of the house right when it became a state for a bit.
Not much else from Kentucky though

Maybe the “southern strategy” is wrong but the fact is there were conservative and liberal factions in both parties. Most southerners, even fiscal conservatives, were democrats.
Today, that is no longer the case. I don’t think southerners had a mass awakening. The parties clearly started moving past each other in different ways.
My ancestors seceded from the Union. I’m not afraid of that fact. Not going to turn my back on it like you want to. Or maybe you are a carpetbagger? With no connection to our history?

If the American economy ever tanks a lot of people will be going to other countries.
The people who stay are the real Americans. Likely the people whose ancestors have been here a long time. No where else to go.
Then we will see which states are southern or not!

I would generally agree with you there. If those states ever had southern influence it has mostly been washed away.

Today it is southern, historically not really.
Which is interesting as it’s usually the opposite?
