Thread 213613325

Delaware is Midatlantic and hasn’t been a southern since before the civil war
Texas and Florida are both southern (excluding Miami)

>>213613325 (OP)
Florida and Texas were acquired later and thus were not fully within Southern culture

you must consider that delaware is south of cairo latitudinally and texas and florida are so far south they’re actually in the northernmost part of the southern hemisphere and thus called the north

>>213613325 (OP)
no it isn't

>>213613325 (OP)
They are all considered the south by US census definition.

Historically, Delaware was a slave state, not abolishing it until during the Civil War, which was the definition back then.

>>213613325 (OP)
Rural Delaware has southern accent

>>213613325 (OP)
Delaware is barely a state

>>213613325 (OP)
>delaware
>south
lmao

>>213613325 (OP)
Only delusional Texan retards think they aren't Southern

>>213613325 (OP)
Most of Delaware's population is just Philadelphia suburbs, but a lot of the land area is on the Delmarva peninsula and should be considered the south

>>213613578
southern means blacks as the dominant minority
texicans have spics as a dominant minority, they're part of the south west.

Honestly I can sort of forgive Texas and Florida being considered separate but I will never forgive calling the Mid-East the Mid-West

>>213613623
It used to be considered the west.

Hence why Northwestern University is in Chicago.

>>213613623
It's called the Midwest because it was the western part of the 13 colonies + a few decades after and the name stuck

>>213613623
It’s the Midwest because everything east of the plains was the Far West

>>213613733
Why not just call it the west then. Whats the point of mid? You’d only call something mid west if theres 4 constituent parts - east, west, mid east, mid west. Or are you telling me they just had the far west and mid west?

>>213613820
Far west used to refer to anything west of the Mississippi yeah

>>213613578
Traditionally "Texas culture" is distinct from "Southern culture".

your strawberry hole is considered very pink and tight

a confederate acquaintance of mine has a (female) friend named 'Scout' like the class from tf2

>>213613996
It has certain peculiarities that distinguish it from the rest of the South, but so does Louisiana, and nobody says that Louisiana isn't Southern.

is North Carolina a part of the South?
is Tennessee a part of the South?

>>213613996
what's "texas culture"?

>>213613424
Kek

East Texas is Southern, west Texas is not
Northern Florida is Southern, Southern Florida is not

>>213615350
southern Florida is carib

>>213615064
culturally yes, but they were both in the union

>>213613325 (OP)
>Swedish education

>>213613623
They literally didn't know how big the country was when they named it. Cut them some slack.

>>213613325 (OP)
Delaware isn't part of The South.
Maryland isn't either.

>>213613578
Texas is different from the south because it's southwestern and connected to Mexico and the desert

>>213615064
>North Carolina
Upland South
>Tennessee
Mostly Upland South, partly Deep South

What about Oklahoma?

>>213613820
there's the middle east and far east but no middle west

>>213615721
Southern-adjacent

>>213613325 (OP)
funny thing is that if you said maryland instead fo delaware, you would have been right

Nothing north, east, or west of Louisiana is southern

>>213613325 (OP)
Please let the Muslims take over Delaware

>>213613424
as an ignorant individual this is pretty much what I thought the south was, though seeing it now Kentucky is too north, but I guess I always put Kentucky and Tennessee in the same group for some reason.
I have no idea what the actual difference in culture between each state are irl

>>213613424
ok now post what americans understand as south.

>>213617694
maybe I would exclude even Arkansas and Oklahoma, basically leave just the coastal states

>>213617735
and before you guys tell me to look it up myself, I looked up south america in google and countries like chile and brazil showed up, so I don't know how to look it up

>>213617786
>US southern states

>>213617835
holy shit that's dumb. doesn't new mexico border mexico?

>>213617875
yeah but as far as I know that don't share that typical southern culture which as I undestood it implied slave plantations
When you see them in video they do give a completely different vibe.

>>213617835
this >>213617694 isn't wrong at all, how did you guess it without knowing?

>>213617735
South basically just means former Confederate states + Kentucky.

Del-aware lol

vibes I guess
>>213618034
I see, thanks for the clarification.
are both hillbillies and rednecks exclusively southern or are they also in other states?

>>213618103
hillbillies are people from the hills (appalachia) but rednecks can come from any rural place even as far away as idaho

>>213618214
I had it reversed, thought rednecks were exclusive to the south and hillbillies could be from any mountainous or hilly rural area.
assuming redneck refers to being a farmer though it makes sense that it would be more widely used
