Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted September 8, 2012 Super User Posted September 8, 2012 Watching educational television with my son this AM. Mainly the show You Don't Know Dixie, which I highly recommend BTW. Well the show got me to thinking. What states make up the South? Apparently there are many answers to this. However I'm gonna have to disagree with the Census Bureau. I mean I realize all yall Yankees wanna be a part of this great place, but come on now. Maryland, West Virginia, and Delaware are NOT part of the South. So what states do yall feel make up the South? Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted September 8, 2012 Super User Posted September 8, 2012 South Carolina on down its obviously the right answer because its right in the name Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted September 8, 2012 Super User Posted September 8, 2012 It's not just location, the South is a culture. For example, northern Florida is South, Miami is not. The general answer is everything below the Mason Dixon Line, which includes West Virginia and Maryland. Kentucky may not be "south", but it's Southern. So, this is how I see it: TN, AL, MS, GA, LA, TX, NC, SC, MD, KY, AR, part of FL, VA and WV. 1 Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted September 8, 2012 Author Super User Posted September 8, 2012 Any states that was part of the Confederate Army during the Civil War. That's what my thoughts were. It's not just location, the South is a culture. For example, northern Florida is South, Miami is not. The general answer is everything below the Mason Dixon Line, which includes West Virginia and Maryland. Kentucky may not be "south", but it's Southern. So, this is how I see it: TN, AL, MS, GA, LA, TX, NC, SC, MD, KY, AR, part of FL, VA and WV. I'll agree with you on Southern Florida not being a part of the South. WV had their chance they chose to leave back in the 1800s though. I still can't bring myself to agree with Maryland though. Watching that right now too, have the CC on though hehe To answer your question, wherever the kudzu grows Aww come on now we don't talk that wired. Your just not hearing it correctly. I love, "wherever the kudzu grows" that there is funny and true. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted September 9, 2012 Super User Posted September 9, 2012 Kent, Miami is NOT part of Florida. Flordia stops being Florida when you reach Miami and starts up again once you hit the Keys, Quote
I.rar Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Kent, Miami is NOT part of Florida. Flordia stops being Florida when you reach Miami and starts up again once you hit the Keys, A big x2 there. Miami is just a mess. Quote

North Ga Hillbilly Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I feel like there is a lot more to being Southern than your exact location. I also think being Southern is a good thing, there are things that many people think of as "Southern" that will make many of us upset. I'm proud to be from the South, however I am not: a racist, a bigot, ignorant or uneducated, nor do I feel the South will rise again NGaHB 1 Quote
llPa1nll Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Well not to hijack the thread, however what do people call "The Northeast"? On this forum its classified as (Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont). Now all well and good but to me its the New England states ( Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont) plus Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Michigan is about as north east as Wisconsin. Just goes to show you its all in where you are from. Quote

royal0014 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 To all you southerners, What's with all the trampolines? Every freaking yard has one. Three words...s..e..x... What's with all the chinese restaurants? You guys have chinese buffets like Wisconsin has bars. Stray cat population control, duh! I do look forward to Waffle House. Such filthy restaurants with such good eats. If you think that's good, you need some real southern cookin' Quote
SmokeRise1 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I ain't whistlin dixie, but the southern counties in NJ were south of the Mason Dixon Line in the 1860's. Quote
