If that is your attitude then fine I'm not southern. Have fun in your dresses not being able to fit through normal doorways. The only reason we left the Union was because we thought maryland was going to and didn't want to be surrounded because then we'd be totally screwed. So in the end Maryland didn't and the "southerners" moved captial to Richmond. Thanks a lot guys. And then when Union advanced on Richmond, and Lee and top guys sent to North Carolina for help, NC was like "there aren't enough North Carolinans in that division of Army, ask some one else." Screw you, I don't want to be southerner anyway. I'm a Mid-Atlantician.

i don't know about anyone else, but i am from AL and i totally consider VA to be Southern....i mean, i've
never heard of someone saying, "oh that virginie, it ain't Southern"....now, KY on the other hand. i've heard it been called
country a few times, but ppl waiver on it's true Southern-ness. depends where you go, i guess.....central KY (such as lexington or louisville) are really more Northern by nature, the closer you get to the TN line, the more Southern it becomes, and eastern KY....well, we'll just leave it at that.
true
classic Southern states in my mind are: Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, parts of Louisiana, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and parts of Kentucky (hopefully i didn't leave anyone out i meant to put in there....). While good ol'
Texas does have a lot of Southern history and is in the Southern region of the US, to me....it is more South-Western. however, i've only been there once....ppl are just as friendly and all that, but it's just different.
