We're not Southern we are Central America meaning Latin

Yeah the south is were all the immigrants live, and they brought their culture with them

Actually, California is exactly like that

South of Ocala (bit of a stretch there) is not Southern

Florida, the only state in the country that gets less southern the further south you go.

Ahh bless ur heart

And that is the truth especially if you live in the east but go heels

North Carolina has NOTHING. we don’t have 4 seasons, the mountains do. 😭 plus our weather is just insane

Believe it or not, Hawaii extends farther south than Florida.

Florida *panhandle* would be the most Southern state if by itself but the peninsula negates all that Southernness.

Broadly speaking, North Florida is Southern and South Florida is Northern. [EDIT: and some sociologists categorize South Florida as part of the Spanish Caribbean. Really.] To generalize a little further, Florida is the abandoned bastard child of father Texas and mother California, was raised in Alabama by New Jersey and Michigan, and impersonates Georgia whenever encountered more than 20 miles from salt water. Not that I'm an authority on anything, but I did grow up near Ocala.

Depends on what part of KY... go to eastern KY 😅 it’s very Appalachian/hillbilly/country/southern

I’m from Ky also 😂

I’m from KY too (more on the northern side) and I sooo agree

The midwest with southern tendencies.

bruh same and i couldnt help but agree. my and my fiancee always say texan first american second too lol

She said it was the least southern not that it wasn't southern.

Colorado and Montana as "Plains States"...lol The least Southern state would easily be either Delaware or Maryland. Oklahoma definitely has some Midwestern vibes (of which about half of all Midwestern states are a part of the Great Plains) but it's still very much a Southern state.

I don't believe this person's ever seen a picture of Montana

As somebody who is from Atlanta, I have to disagree with you on this, Atlanta is most definitely a southern state, although over the years, it's apparently gotten less and less southern, because so many goddamn Northerners, and other people seem to think that it's a good place to be all of a sudden.

I pretty much agree with you, as someone who has lived in GA, SC, and NC (currently), but spent 40-some years in Atlanta metro. Atlanta is so diverse, with a lot of international folks (which is great, you have to go a long, long way to beat the food choices there) and people from all over the US, that it has lost a good bit of its Southern flavor and you hardly meet lifelong Atlantans anymore. Oklahoma I was surprised it was even here. I think of it like with Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri. They do have some drawl in parts, but it's more Midwest than Southern. Though I'll usually leave out Texas too, because as someone said, Houston east is pretty Southern, but there's a lot more to the state, and like the blonde said, they think of themselves as Texans first. For most Southern, I think Mississippi, Alabama, and rural Georgia are all as Southern as anyone could want, but Atlanta pulls Georgia down a notch in the rankings. I think having a boundary with Southern neighbors on all sides helps preserve it.

Only a small portion of the Southern Plains reaches down into Oklahoma and it’s on the far western side. Most of western Oklahoma is prairie. Prairie is a mix of trees and open land. This area I’m speaking of is big cattle ranch country in Oklahoma and there are also a lot of cotton farms in this area. It’s not the plains. The only portion of Oklahoma that you can call the plains is the panhandle and the northwest tip of Oklahoma. Even that feels more like the Southwest than the plains. About two thirds of Oklahoma is heavily wooded with tree covered hills and 5 lush mountain ranges, rivers, and a lot of lakes and water. The southeastern part of Oklahoma has swamps and alligators. Plains states don’t have alligators. Texas has way more ‘plains’ than Oklahoma and most, nor do I, consider Texas to be a plains state. In the plains you get tumbleweed. Funny thing, I never saw a tumbleweed until I moved to eastern Colorado for a couple months as a kid. I haven’t seen any since. 😂

I'm Oklahoman and my wife is Texan. She said, almost word for word, the same thing as the Texas girl in the video, so I told her they train Texans from birth to think the same (regarding Texas). She of course disagreed, so I proved it to her: Me: "The stars at night, are big and bright..." Her: Me: Ha! Trained! I'm kidding. I love all my southern brothers and sisters and thank you for finally allowing Oklahoma into the southern states club.

Well people who live in Tennessee are Tennesseans first and then Southerners

Texas is NOT part of The South. We're Texan, and nothing else.

It's amazing at what y'all have and do. I have seen Huntsville and it took my breath. If you are ever in Atlanta go to the Fernbank Sicence Museum. You will get to see one of the Apollo mission capsules. It's AWESOME!!!! You can see the burn marks on the heat shield.

I’m from Philly, no one likes New Yorkers in the north either. But New Yorkers and Floridians have together sounds like the inner most circle of hell to me

I recently learned that Florida has statistically the same number of crazy people getting arrested as you would expect of any other state just based on its population. The only reason you hear about it more in Florida is because of Florida's transparency in reporting crimes. Other states' privacy laws keep their crazy criminals out of the news, but Florida puts theirs on the front page and the 6:00 evening broadcast. 😂

@@Mcelly58 Back in the 90s they(Fulmer) turned Alabama in for recruiting violations which led to them pulling a bunch of scholarships from us.

When she said Texas was least southern my jaw dropped, then she said that we’re Texans first and I said out loud “she’s not wrong”

She doesn't have a Texas drawl, though. She has an inland West Valley accent, if not Californian. Also: Texas is part of the Greater Appalachian region, i.e., the Appalachian diaspora, and is distinct from the Deep South region. I may be a Yankee, but I'm a Washingtonian inland West Yankee, not a Left Coast Yankee. I live around a LOT of people that moved up from west Texas and southern California to the Columbia Basin for cheaper cost of living. More $$ to build McMansions. I'm not Southern, but I have an idea about Texas and Cali influences.

@@jaklumen Texas has a diverse and wide range of accents -- East Tx for example might as well be its own culture, quite different from the accent found in the south San Antonio region. There IS no one "Texas drawl" (except in the movies). ETA: I'm speaking from my own experience and opinion, I'm not a linguist 😅

@@jaklumen I've lived throughout Texas and can confirm what cobaltium said. There isn't a single Texas accent, there are a couple with varying amounts of drawl. Around the big cities/college towns they're vanishing, but you get out of that bubble and it's a treat. Especially fun is the Tex-German accent in and around Fredericksburg.

jaklumen, coming from North West~ish Texas, though I probably sound like a broken record, there’s a ton of accents around here. The funniest thing is though, if you have one person on a call/around you(pre-pandemic) with a southern drawl, everyone starts slightly talking with one. It’s the best.

So does va va and nc are my favorite many just because I've lived in both

Right!

Northern Virginia is still much more southern than when you get above Maryland

I know! I split my childhood between Virginia and Georgia and have lived my entire adult life in Virginia and there are places here that are way more stereotypically southern than places in Georgia!

Drake Just go into Western Maryland, at the West Virginia border. Hillbilly country is fun. And no, hillbilly is not a derogatory term for the people who coined the term.

VA needs to give the area around DC to them they are screwing up Commonwealth!!!!

As a Connecticut yankee, i travelled a bit through Virginia, and except for an accent it didnt seem southern until I got to the Dismal Swamp! Sorry to disappoint ya, but . . .

Everything North of Fredericksburg should mind as well join Washington DC at that point. If they could just give DC that than I might consider supporting DC statehood since it makes Virginia red like the rest of the south.
