Not calling NC the south is pretty insane. Judging from your accent you either moved here or lived in Cary your whole life and never left.

Nick just because you live in RDU in NC you my friend are in the south. Just because you went there from CA.

So true! I'm a Floridian and I can attest that central and South Florida isn't really "the South"

Lol

lived in pensacola, davie, hollywood, and now just outside of jacksonville, totally different areas, attitudes, and etiquette. could certainly make at least 4 states out of florida. the dividing line between the snowbirds and the south is somewhere around ocala

MWJ '90 Florida isn’t the south

Florida is geographically a southern state.

Laserwave Studios Oklahoma too

You're right, Texas too.

I lived there for years! It is the south!

My guess is that the man who posted this video lives in the Raleigh/Durham area, which is the least southern part of the state.

True. But Nick's lists have 10 items in them and I think he focused on geography first.

Charlotte is actually Silicon Valley East.

@@murp61 You can't define a state based off of it's biggest city. Atlanta isn't exactly a southern belle city.

This guy is dumb

If your state was in the confederacy your southern, Robert e lee is from Virginia and he’s southern. Not everything is about “culture” if your from the south, you grew up with this culture, and nobody talks about the northern culture, only about southern culture and classifying people in states like florida, Virginia and I’ve even seen North Carolina be called a northern state, just because you don’t think it is , doesn’t meet it’s not because look up states in the confederacy and the American south and FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA, are apart of the south, all the people saying states are not southern are toxic people from the Deep South trying to make themselves seem better because they have to much time on there hands.

@@murp61 yeah if that were true, Texas, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee shouldn’t be Southern because of places like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Nashville, Miami, and countless others. But I guess because Virginia has Richmond and North Carolina has Charlotte they’re pretty much California on the East Coast. That comparison fits better with New York.

They’re just not southern Edit: I’m sick of old men yelling at me, it was supposed to be a joke.

@@LANEcor3 They are below the Mason-Dixon line, which makes them "southern". Try again...

@@jasontaverner391 O k .

Kentucky was NOT a union state. It was a watershed state. It was technically neutral.

Kentucky was not a union state, it was more mixed if anything. Just because they were part of the CSA doesn’t mean they are "southern" now. Though North Carolina definitely still has a huge southern culture, and deserved to be ranked on here. Though Virginia does still have some southern culture, it as not as much as the other states that are considered southern.

@Wuhan Weezy it's because of the weird northern culture of the two

I'm Texan and even I'm mad about out him leaving out NC and VA and WVA

West virginia and Carolina ok but virginia?

He lives in North Carolina

West Virginia, as well. A little further up, but still part of the South

We have a ton in Delaware

The heart of the south i may say, along with Virginia and Georgia

​@@ArkansasHillbilli3 He's a damned Californian Yankee.

Good! I'm glad North Carolina and Virginia aren't on there. I live in NC.

He’s talking about SOUTH. North Carolina and Virginia are Northern states

I would only count North East and East Texas as "Southern", not South and West Texas. These Texas areas near the border areas are more linked to New Mex and Arizona than Kentucky and Alabama.

@@malcorub Texas is still the Southern, the Mexican border doesn't change a thing.

It wouldn’t be fair if he put NC, I’m pretty sure he lives there.

What the producer should of entitled the video is : The worst Deep South States...just saying

@@darindickerson8802 yeah, but Kentucky and Tennessee is not the deep south

Because if they were included, that would go against the idea that all of the South is bad

Virginia because they carried the confederacy during the 'unpleasantness'...the University of Virginia too. Carolina? I cannot figure that at all...it is south of the Mason-Dixon Line after all.

They ain't the south they more like the east coast

North Carolina is like a domesticated cat South Carolina is like a feral cat

@@ds4818bro, look it up , look up southern states, and Virginia and NC and southern, just because you don’t think so doesn’t mean they aren’t Virginians are southern same with people from NC and Florida, although I would cut off calling Florida southern around sarosata,

It's because it's not considered a solid red conservative state. It's 50/50 as far as politics so it's purple 💜

@@lisaazzano1811 GA flipped too. Politics is just one part. There are plenty of people that are southern and vote democrat or feel that the Republican party does not work in there best interests

i think it based on red stats since nc is technically blue now lol

Dean Tomlinson what city u from bro??

@@lizrae4359 it's a purple state. And even that's deceptive. It's only blue in the cities and you can say that about every southern city.

Trey Andrews oh shid I’m from Plymouth nc which is relatively close to Williamston

All the metro areas in the South are basically blue (there's a particular vein of blue that seems to go through the piedmont region of NC/SC/GA and up the Mississippi river.) NC is undoubtedly Southern, but the cities are getting major influx of Yankees, particularly those of retirement age. If I walk past some old people in the grocery store, they're as often as not talking with New York accents.

Hell yeah

I agree and how can he forget Virginia? Most presidents from that state I believe.

I don't know NC is just different

We are literally barbecue capital of the south! Hands down! What is wrong with some people?!

It’s just full of north-easterners now. So not so southern

I lived here my whole life, and I consider myself southern

Exactly!

More like the east coast. New York is North

Maryland and DC is technically south too

Virginias not nc is

@Joseph yes they are...

Missouri was (partially) Confederate as well. Missouri's Mark Twain is considered a Southern writer. But pretty much everyone these days considers Missouri mid-West.

Not only that but he included fucking Kentucky, a state that never officially seceded.

@@marajadeskywalker5992 being part of of the confederacy doesn't make you southern

@@marajadeskywalker5992 Kentucky is the Midwest, I don't care what anyone says.

Because Virginia is in the north and south(based in geography map)

Idk why he did, but Kentucky is pretty damn southern for how northern it is geologically

@@elgeorge437 very true

@@elgeorge437 thank u bruh bruh

@@elgeorge437 I think you meant geographically, not geologically. Unless you're talking about Kentucky rocks...

@@elgeorge437 I live in Kentucky, and it is part of the South. Half the state's population is Southern Baptist, and half of the rest of the population is what my mother used to call fire-and-brimstone Methodist. Kentucky was also a slave state, and the state supplied more Confederate soldiers than most of the states in the Confederacy.

You would be correct.

I give Virginia its Southern status just because of its role in history as a southern state. Now, as someone who has spent a LOT of time in VA I must attest, the northern half has turned into an extension of D.C. and Maryland so geographically speaking yes VA is most certainly a southern state but culturally speaking: it honestly depends where you are in the state (like Florida).

Central and north Florida are as south as it gets.

He could only pick 10 states, the worst 10... we are the better southern states =D

It litterally borders the deep south, your way off although i support your principle

@Tp L if it seceded and isn’t South of Tampa Bay or west of College Station your in the south. Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland are not Southern

@Gabriella Johnson idk ask him.

@Gabriella Johnson cause he....thinks Kentucky is part of the south..... I don’t.

@Gabriella Johnson I think Kentucky as more of a border state. Does a state that borders Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana sound like a Southern state? No. Does a state that borders Virginia and Tennessee sound like a Midwest state? No. Same goes for Missouri, Maryland, and West Virginia. None of those states seceded and thus don’t belong in the South.

@Gabriella Johnson huh?

Are they going to bring down the Confederate monuments?

tetsuyanamamura sadly they are wanting but I don’t want to

Number of confederate monuments would be a good rubric

@@RyanRapid why not? that’s like having nazi statues and celebrating it lol

All states have "liberal" and neo nazi....errr "conservative" areas. Cities tend to be liberal because when you live around people, you have to have some manners, hygiene, and people skills. City people realize they have some degree in interdependence on one another. Rural people tend to believe they are 'independent'. That is a delusion. Not having any friends doesn't make you independent. It makes you superfluous.

Virginia isn’t the south bud

Jackson Coker uh, yes it is

NC and VA aren't Southern Culturally

man wakka As a Virginian, Virginia and NC are both culturally and Historically southern.

@@jacksoncoker5597 uhh yeah it is

no way is Kentucky "quasi southern" Kentucky ain't nowhere near The atlantic and Kentucky is overall more southern than va or wv because wv is its own thing and half of Virginia is the north. NC is full of yankee transplants and while NC shoulda been on the list it ain't.

A couple cities in Virginia feel Northern. Like the ones around DC, and some cities have there own thing going on like Norfolk, and Williamsburg, but the state as a whole is southern. Virginia isn't on this list, because it would have won. Virginia is doing well, unlike most other states in the south.

@@romangagliardi LOL

Trust me. Kansas is plenty southern, and I'm proud of it.

North Georgia is especially gorgeous with the mountains, Lake Lanier, and metro Atlanta. But I enjoy the beaches in Florida too.

Alabama and Mississippi are two states I wouldn't even want to visit. If you move to Texas, that's about three steps up from anywhere in the South. Even Florida.

@@andydrew03 I agree w/ u about reverse order to put TX, FL, Georgia as top 3 states to live/move to.

@@Linda-ic1il Obviously I’m aware, miss. Sadly enough, your comment is pretty irrelevant to the fact I’ve stated here..

This dudes whole channel is based off false info tbh

Exactly.

There are plenty of people in Virginia and North Carolina who would not consider themselves Southerners. The demographic map has changed over time. I have lived in Virginia and South Carolina. SC is definitely South. Virginia is more progressive and felt more like a Northern state to me. It wasn't nearly as conservative nor segregated.

Exactly!

@@DIVISIONINCISION 95-99% of North Carolinians consider themselves southern. The only people who don't are transplants from northern states. If we're not southern, why do a good amount of us sound like we're from King of the Hill? Why do most of our restaurants serve sweet tea? Most of our population is Christian too and we have lots of churches. We are solid in the Bible Belt and are very comparable to the Deep South.

Well I'm from Massachusetts and I swear on the Bible New Hampshire is the Arkansas of the North

Texas actually works the same way lol. The border towns and cities in southern TX are much more liberal … the more north and central you get the more conservative you get.

No one from here says that

Even then, East Texas isn’t really southern like the southern states.

As a native Texan, I will agree that Texas is a combination of the south and southwest. I’ve lived in Houston, Lubbock, Fort Worth, and by San Antonio and I have noticed that the western half of Texas which includes Lubbock is more like the southwestern states, while the triangular hub featuring the big cites is more like the south.

I'm a Mississippian and and Houston and Dallas is like a second home to most of my peers that escaped the plantations of the Magnolia state.

If Pimp C said it I believe it!

Yeah the outta towners are to blame shake my muthafucking head🤦🏽‍♂️

All that oil and gas money makes a big difference, doesn't it? That's been true for more than a hundred years, If the rest of the South (excluding LA and OK) had it, things would be different.

Gulf shores Alabama is super clean and super super friendly and a awesome place.

Louisiana has the worst roads. You can tell when crossing the Texas border on I-10

Yeah, you didn’t even have to say you’re from Texas, it’s obvious.

What about south or north Carolina?

Why would anyone be mad that he listed Kentucky as a Southern State ? It's a State in the upper South lol. I'm just confused why he didn't add other states in the upper South like Missouri, North Carolina, and Virginia. But yeah, Kentucky is Southern
