20 miles from philly?

hey, it's just historical fact

During the American Civil War era, the term Upper South was often used to refer specifically to the Confederate states that did not secede until after the attack on Fort Sumter—Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas. This can also include the border states of Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia, Maryland, or Delaware in the Upper South.[4] Today, although many definitions are still based on Civil War-era politics, the term Upper South is often used for all of the American South north of the Deep South.

Only on the coli do ppl try to question the southerness of this state, especially MY part(htine).



AADOS Houstonians are as southern as it gets when it comes to urban southerners. Imagine the birthplace of juneteenth not being considered southern, because there's a lot of immigrants today. lol

blues royalty in your blood

My uncle wasn't blood, but my late uncle married my Aunt when I was a lil kid. I do consider the Craytons family for sure! My late uncle was also a musician. He played he vibraphone.

Much respect to you for knowing who PeeWee Crayton was! Says a lot about your musical knowledge! Salute!!!

But Texas is the South ?

Confused

Texas is both. It’s culturally Southern and the Western extremities are Southwest. It’s both. Why can’t it be both? Texas is unique.

Like was stated earlier, not all of it. You’d be hard pressed to consider trans pecos area as Southern. I would also say you would have a hard time saying the rio grande valley area as Southern. Cities like Laredo to McAllen to Brownsville.

I’d even say the Panhandle is in question as to which region it belongs to.

Trans-Pecos=Southwest

Rio Grand/South Texas=Tejanoland/Southwest

Panhandle=Weird amalgamation of Lower Midwest/GreatPlains/Southwest.

Central Texas=Great Plains/Culturally Southern/Fronteir West

East Texas(from North to South)=Unequivocally, indisputably, undeniable Southern. Just different versions of Southern. Northeast Texas being closely linked to the delta South. Southeast Texas more gulf coastal southern culture.

I forgot to add the region of West Texas right before you enter the Trans-Pecos and immediately West of Central Texas. That area is a mix of Southern Culture/Southwestern characteristics/culture and general Texan culture.

Perfect. Further shows that Texas is a transition state.

It’s too big to just be in one region.
