35. "I've always wondered if Texas was the south or the southwest" In response to In response to 24 Wed Apr-20-16 11:01 AM by flipnile
As an east-coast dude, "the south" was always VA/NC/SC/GA/AL/FL/MS and LA. Texas always seemed so far west that I never considered it part of the south, even though every one I've met from TX considers it southern. Always thought of cowboys, ranches and the Mexican border when I thought of Texas, and that stuff == SW/W.
Edit: I could never place KY and TN, either. They both seemed very mid-western/appalacian like WV to me. I don't think of those states as "southern" either.
