    As a Alabamian, for perspective I had a friend call me and tell me this morning “he seen a a car hit a buck on the way to work”. Then proceeds to ask me to take his saw from his house and go cut the head off it or at least the antlers. I went to go do it half way through my cup of coffee and a guy was already loading it up in the back of his truck with other vehicles trying to do the same. I mean technically the entire neighborhood came out of the wood works to claim roadkill including myself, and I came to the realization that I fit the stereotypes.

People don't abandon their cars on the Interstate for 2 inches of snow in Tennessee. (But we definitely do still shut most stuff down when we have 6+".

The more numerous or famous they are, usually they're more "southern" in ranking. Louisiana and Virginia have big claims with New Orleans and Yorktown respectively, while Alabama basically hatched out of a cannonball, since the Creek Campaign among other stuff literally led to the state's creation in the 1810s.

    Born and bred in Missouri. Depending on where you live, parts of Missouri are definitely Southern. Anything North of I-44 is considered Midwestern. That includes St. Louis, Columbia, LOTO, Kansas City, Hannibal. Anything South of I-44 but WEST of US 63 is considered “Hillbilly”. That includes Springfield, Branson, Lebanon, Mountain Grove. Anything that is South of I-44 but EAST of US 63 is considered “Southern”. Now, within that area, you have another area that is even more “Southern”, and that is from Sikeston south through the boot heel. That area has almost an “Deep South” or “antebellum” feel, much like Mississippi and Alabama.

I’ve said for many many years that if you combined the boot heel, the same latitude line for southern Illinois and Southern Indiana you gave for Missouri, and us in western KY…you could make another southern state. These areas are just different from the rest of their home states….and that difference is just being southern.
