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.
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.
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.
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.
Bro how is NC not southern. One of my neighbors has a giant flagpole with a huge confederate flag flying 12 months out of the year. Doesn’t get much more southern than that.
I'm from NC. Born in Eastern NC and currently living in the Piedmont. NC is definitely southern. This list isn't based on historical/traditional accuracy.
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.
How tf are North Carolina and Virginia not included in the south?? Richmond Virginia was not only just the capital of the state but of the Confederacy during the civil war. If that ain’t southern, idk what is.
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.
This the worst video about the South you need a course on American history and with today's easy technology you couldn't even get your map correct!!!!!
@@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.
I am from NC and it is absolutely southern! Growing up in central NC most people consider NC definitely southern and states like Virginia, West Virginia, & Kentucky as quasi-southern bordering on mid-atlantic. NC is a fantastic state and in my opinion the best southern state.
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.
I realize this video is old, but it just came across this on my TH-cam feed. First question, in WHAT UNIVERSE is North Carolina NOT a southern state? Same with Virginia. I'm guessing that he left those off for clicking purposes. It worked for me. He's also done Northeast, Midwest, and West. Some states didn't get ranked in any group, such as Alaska, Hawaii, Oklahoma, and Va and NC.
@@Tvtardy Northern Virginia is definitely not Southern, but all the rest of Virginia is Southern. There's not a specific place called Southern Virginia it's just the parts that aren't Northern Virginia LOL. We're talking cows in every direction, rolling hills, and everybody driving a truck with a Dixie flag on it.
Virginia has the most Confederate monuments in the South, Virginia is still southern despite having liberal cities like Manassas in Northern Virginia and Richmond. The rest is very Conservative. What about North Carolina?
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.
@@xavierdomenico It is both. The Mid Atlantic is a subregion that includes both southern and northeastern states. Virginia is one of three southern states in the mid Atlantic.
@@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,
@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.
@@390rambler Also why is Kentucky always included as a Southern state..they were sided with the North in Civil War...if people hold that as a criteria.
This "worst" list looks almost like it's in reverse order. 😅 Florida, Texas, and Georgia are probably the only states I would choose to live in on this list. And I'm originally from Alabama! Lol.
@@areyoujelton I totally agree! Alabama is beautiful but certainly not my first choice. Lol 😅 I currently live in Florida after having lived in Georgia for some years. Both are great. 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. I plan to move to FL OR TX metro as an R.E. investor but not sure which city is best for job grow/econ & quality of life; namely pls tell me which one u love/prefer better/best, I've not decide if I should move to DFW, Austin, Houston vs Miami, Tampa metro, Jacksonville metro or any FL metro city? I've not been to both FL or TX. Thx my friend share your own experience+insight.
I would choose Georgia if it was Atlanta and surrounding or even Warner robins. North Carolina has many good places and also Florida is good anything Orlando going south is a good fit for me. I love the beauty of Tenessee but Tenessee reminds you of a beautiful lady who is very mean and super traditional that loses the appeal in wanting her
You are missing like almost half of the southern states dude. Virginia- Richmond, VA was capital of the CSA North Carolina - unquestionably southern Oklahoma - more southern than mid-west, big difference between KS and OK West Virginia - definitely has influences of southern culture
@@loganb7982 This guy seriously doesn't know these states. Notice how often he says, "I guess!!" Sounds like a guy from the North. Definitely not from the South, no accent!! Lol
@@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
Obviously your geography is way off, Virginia and North Carolina are definitely Southern states. I would consider Florida less southern than either Va. or NC.
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).
@@NickJohnson c'mon. Let's be honest you haven't really been all over NC. You have to only been in the triangle. I've lived in Alabama and NC is undoubtedly and unquestionably southern
Ask a third- or fourth-generation Virginian, North or South Carolinian if they are yankees and I'm sure you'd discover the flaw in your map. It doesn't matter the politics nor the amount of people who've moved from overpriced and overtaxed areas outside the South, though maligned, Southern is a cultural identity that you don't get to define.
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.
@@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.
Texas isn't really that Southern anymore, thats really most East Texas. It would be hard to convince me the I-35 corridor, Houston, El Paso and Rio Grande Valley are culturally western. Mostly just rural Texas which is becoming a smaller and smaller slice of the Pecan pie. Texas is kinda a combo of Southern and South-western culturally. The Carolinas are definitely Southern.
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.
Sorry, you lost me when NC was excluded from the map classified as southern. It's very much southern and was a fortress of the Confederate during the civil war.
Just a little fun fact for ya boss, NC supplied more troops for the confederacy than any other.. I say you need to look at historical facts and not the opinions of ignorant people.
As a southern raised man of 34 years old, now living in Western Washington, this part of the country segregates themselves from other cultures more than any place in the South.
I from Mobile Alabama and had family in NC how come whenever we went to visit them we said we goin in up north to North Carolina after 12 hours of driving North
White Kobe Bryant Because North Carolina is geographically north of Alabama. Your statement also applies to Tennessee but both those states are southern. The vast majority of the USA is north of Mobile. What’s your point?
@@whitekobebryant2324 that’s so dumb, bo I’ve gotta call you out on that.. your geographically further south, doesn’t mean what’s north of you is not “southern!”
A native South Carolinian here. Not having NC in this is crazy. The best BBQ in the world is a pepper-vinegar sauce whole hog in Eastern NC. I'm right across the line from Tabor City and Whiteville.
@@bonezbaaaby I have always thought that is an absurd argument. You need to look at the shape of NC. To say it is not the deep south is to disregard its geographical position and shape. Certain parts of NC are further south than parts of SC, and my hometown in NC is nearly as far south as Atlanta. In what way is that not the deep south?
I will agree that Texas is huge however from what you’re telling me chances are you lived in the drier part of Texas out west. I was born and raised in Houston lived there for 24 years and seen multiple tornadoes across the city in that timeframe. Tornadoes tend to thrive in warm humid climates which is why they are also rare in places like Idaho or Utah.
The fact that North Carolina is not included as a southern state invalidates this entire video. NC is the fucking south. I live here I can tell you, this place is the south.
I’ve lived in TX my entire life. I have made several road trips across the south and it’s really shocking when you cross the TX border into Louisiana or Arkansas. You can tell those states have far less funding. And it gets worse the farther you drive! Mississippi and Alabama are so run-down and unattractive. Once you cross into Florida though, you know immediately because the highways and scenery get so much better. Love the South but if you want to move here I only recommend TX or FL.
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.
Is NC trending more or less conservative? I'm in OR and it's trending way too extreme to the left and am looking for somewhere a little more conservative/centrist.
StriderGTS I would say less. Many New Yorkers have moved in and tried to bring their blue way with them.I think this last election will make us solid red next election.
That's crazy. People tend to forget that the South is a very large region so each state will have its own subculture/vibe because of that. Im from NC and I recently met a guy from South Carolina who said I had a "Maryland vibe".
North Carolina and Virginia were part of the South. You have West Virginia as part of the South and that is not correct. Virginia was divided during the Civil War. The eastern part of Virginia was part of the Confederacy had the capital of the Confederate capital in Richmond, Virginia. West Virginia was part of the Union. You map is incorrect. You need to study up on the correct history before you post these videos.
You only close to East Tennessee your not close to western part nashville & Memphis Jackson Tennessee & North Carolina noting alike we both just have mountains that’s it
In Texas, nobody knows how many guns there are , When you buy a new gun ,you only do the Federal background check. The state does not list how many are sold .
WV, and OK are southern, but they are so close to other areas that they get influenced by them. Trust me if anything they are "Southern Lite" when compared to the southeast.
@@PackinStackin If you think West Virginia is southern lite you've probably never been there. I'd use that title to describe places like Florida or Texas
7. Some of those aggregated things you see that looks like a bunch of junk put together should not be considered as a pejorative. Most rural southerners know basic carpentry, plumbing, electricity, horticulture, mechanics, and other useful skills for which city people pay someone $200-$300 to do and may have to use some vacation time to be at the house for the repair. Rural people just stop by Home Depot, spend $15-$20 for parts and fix it when they get home from work. Remember KillDozer? I’d put it up against many of our tanks from WWII any day. A lot of southerners go into Engineering and so did I. When we had laboratory classes where practical tasks (not solving some Calculus-based problem in a textbook) had to be performed, I could just wire up the circuit quickly, run my experiments, write my report, and turn it in while many of the city students still hadn’t completed constructing the circuit. As a R&D engineer, I thrive because I can create my own test fixtures in simple ways but still sufficiently accurate for the purpose. 8. We have racetracks in the south because we like tinkering with cars. Just like with home repairs, instead of taking a car to a shop and spending maybe thousands, we’ll troubleshoot, isolate the problem, and then go to Autozone or - if the part isn’t available at retail auto stores - go order the part from the dealership or online and then fix it ourselves, all while grumbling about the lack of space in the engine compartment or where the engineer decided to place the part within the engine compartment. 9. In the south where the population is growing and available land is scarce, often young adults who want to get out of their parents’ house will buy a trailer and put it on a section of their parents’ land. This is cheaper than renting an apartment, you can sneak all your friends over for a party after your parents fall asleep, and when you’ve saved up enough to cover the down payment on a house, you can either find an existing house for sale or (this happens a lot in the south) you can buy a lot from your parents (most will just give you some of their land as long as you promise not to sell it to anyone else) and build your own house. It’s less expensive and you choose your style. Of course there are many people who just remain in trailers so they can spend their money elsewhere and in the moderate climate of the south, trailers are comfortable until a tornado or hurricane comes along and disassembles it for you. The south doesn’t typically have cheap, old, empty houses like you see for blocks and blocks in Detroit or Cleveland. Plus, if you were rude to a bad person, you can put wheels on a trailer and make a run for it. 😉
OK, NC, and VA are southern by every measurable metric, per the US government. Now if you wanted to put OK and TX in its own little category because our their huge Hispanic cultural influences, the impact of western Cowboy culture and our obsession with Chips & Queso and everything Tex-Mex, that’ll be fine. But to not include NC and VA on this list is borderline criminal.
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, North Carolina is fully southern. Then North Florida, East Texas, South Virginia and even parts of Missouri, Oklahoma and West Virginia fits into the Southern culture. A lot of places dont fit into a neat category.
Why on East Texas? South Texas is pretty country and pretty Southern. Obviously it's closer to the border so there are Hispanic towns but there are lots of rodeos, ranches, etc
I had to stop the video for a second and comment. My man, I was born and raised in NC. How in the world did you leave NC and VA off the list? I currently live in Texas. If you were going to remove a state, I would have did Texas. While it is technically the south, Texas is unique as it can be the south, Midwest, and southwest and damn near Mexico wrapped up into one state.
You didn't include North Carolina or Virginia in these Metrics so all your data is flawed, not to mention its a downright insult to Southerners everywhere that they were excluded.
Seeing people who aren’t from the south defining what states are “southern” is just the funniest thing to me, like, how are you going to include Kentucky but not Virginia or North Carolina, and saying that Tennessee and Texas “aren’t really a part of the South but it is” is just flabbergasting to me
I was born in Northern Virginia and my family has lived in Virginia for hundreds of years. They even fought for the Confederacy, but I guess I'm also not Southern.🤷♀️
@@mauryriad72 true that. The way I measure it now because of how much growth has taken place is if you take someone specifically from the area like let’s say Richard petty and compare him to someone who transplanted in to the state like Nick. Night and day difference between the two and that’s the difference between someone from NC and someone who ain’t
The south will always be the south and I don't care who are what moves there. If all the southerners move to California it will still be the westcoast. Locations don't change becuase people from another region move there.
Maryland IS a southern state; you can get "Southern Living" magazine at the Southern subscription rate, and you can buy "Cabin Still" liquor both there, and in D.C., but not in Delaware, because that is considered an Atlantic state. (Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, and West Virginia are called "border states," which is a polite way of referring to a Southern state - presumably, because of the "misfortune" of being Southern....)
@@stuartcooper1979 Southern Maryland has some southern roots, but the state is now (and for quite some time) considered a " Mid-Atlantic" state. You may receive a Mike Tyson style beat-down calling a native Marylander a "southerner."
Hows this guy going to reference nascar tracks and leave off NC. Uh, the origins of that southern sport are from NC (and VA). Stick to CA Nick Johnson.
Driving to Florida every year I take a different route, Arkansas and Mississippi looked run down big time Alabama wasn’t much better the closer you got to the Gulf the nicer it looked. Florida is king of the southern states, the beaches are the best in mainland United States
From someone who lives in Mississippi you must only be looking on the highway the in both Mississippi and Arkansas most of the town is not on the highway and is further in but it is pretty nice up north very little poverty

@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.

You left out Virginia and North Carolina! In spite of historical revisions that try to erase our history.
Obviously your geography is way off, Virginia and North Carolina are definitely Southern states. I would consider Florida less southern than either Va. or NC.
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.

Ask a third- or fourth-generation Virginian, North or South Carolinian if they are yankees and I'm sure you'd discover the flaw in your map. It doesn't matter the politics nor the amount of people who've moved from overpriced and overtaxed areas outside the South, though maligned, Southern is a cultural identity that you don't get to define.
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.

Texas isn't really that Southern anymore, thats really most East Texas. It would be hard to convince me the I-35 corridor, Houston, El Paso and Rio Grande Valley are culturally western. Mostly just rural Texas which is becoming a smaller and smaller slice of the Pecan pie. Texas is kinda a combo of Southern and South-western culturally. The Carolinas are definitely Southern.
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.

@@bonezbaaaby I have always thought that is an absurd argument. You need to look at the shape of NC. To say it is not the deep south is to disregard its geographical position and shape. Certain parts of NC are further south than parts of SC, and my hometown in NC is nearly as far south as Atlanta. In what way is that not the deep south?
I've lived in Texas for 29 years and I've only seen one tornado. That shows how huge Texas is.

I will agree that Texas is huge however from what you’re telling me chances are you lived in the drier part of Texas out west. I was born and raised in Houston lived there for 24 years and seen multiple tornadoes across the city in that timeframe. Tornadoes tend to thrive in warm humid climates which is why they are also rare in places like Idaho or Utah.

The fact that North Carolina is not included as a southern state invalidates this entire video. NC is the fucking south. I live here I can tell you, this place is the south.
I’ve lived in TX my entire life. I have made several road trips across the south and it’s really shocking when you cross the TX border into Louisiana or Arkansas. You can tell those states have far less funding. And it gets worse the farther you drive! Mississippi and Alabama are so run-down and unattractive. Once you cross into Florida though, you know immediately because the highways and scenery get so much better. Love the South but if you want to move here I only recommend TX or FL.
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.

North Carolina and Virginia were part of the South. You have West Virginia as part of the South and that is not correct. Virginia was divided during the Civil War.

7. Some of those aggregated things you see that looks like a bunch of junk put together should not be considered as a pejorative. Most rural southerners know basic carpentry, plumbing, electricity, horticulture, mechanics, and other useful skills for which city people pay someone $200-$300 to do and may have to use some vacation time to be at the house for the repair. Rural people just stop by Home Depot, spend $15-$20 for parts and fix it when they get home from work. Remember KillDozer? I’d put it up against many of our tanks from WWII any day. A lot of southerners go into Engineering and so did I. When we had laboratory classes where practical tasks (not solving some Calculus-based problem in a textbook) had to be performed, I could just wire up the circuit quickly, run my experiments, write my report, and turn it in while many of the city students still hadn’t completed constructing the circuit. As a R&D engineer, I thrive because I can create my own test fixtures in simple ways but still sufficiently accurate for the purpose.
8. We have racetracks in the south because we like tinkering with cars. Just like with home repairs, instead of taking a car to a shop and spending maybe thousands, we’ll troubleshoot, isolate the problem, and then go to Autozone or - if the part isn’t available at retail auto stores - go order the part from the dealership or online and then fix it ourselves, all while grumbling about the lack of space in the engine compartment or where the engineer decided to place the part within the engine compartment.
9. In the south where the population is growing and available land is scarce, often young adults who want to get out of their parents’ house will buy a trailer and put it on a section of their parents’ land. This is cheaper than renting an apartment, you can sneak all your friends over for a party after your parents fall asleep, and when you’ve saved up enough to cover the down payment on a house, you can either find an existing house for sale or (this happens a lot in the south) you can buy a lot from your parents (most will just give you some of their land as long as you promise not to sell it to anyone else) and build your own house. It’s less expensive and you choose your style. Of course there are many people who just remain in trailers so they can spend their money elsewhere and in the moderate climate of the south, trailers are comfortable until a tornado or hurricane comes along and disassembles it for you. The south doesn’t typically have cheap, old, empty houses like you see for blocks and blocks in Detroit or Cleveland. Plus, if you were rude to a bad person, you can put wheels on a trailer and make a run for it. 😉
