We brought in one person from each of the Southern states and asked them what they liked (and disliked) about each other. Apologies in advance to Florida.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. Cut florida in half and we are basicly alabama and a little mix of georgia on the panhandle
Broadly speaking, North Florida is Southern and South Florida is Northern. [EDIT: and some sociologists categorize South Florida as part of the Spanish Caribbean. Really.] To generalize a little further, Florida is the abandoned bastard child of father Texas and mother California, was raised in Alabama by New Jersey and Michigan, and impersonates Georgia whenever encountered more than 20 miles from salt water. Not that I'm an authority on anything, but I did grow up near Ocala.
Y’all should do one where Southerners ask questions to Northerners! Learning the differences... also diffusing some stereotypes and just having fun with it lol.
True. But outside of Kentucky and North Carolina when basketball season comes around the south goes into hiding in their backyard bomb shelters because their teams aren’t worth mentioning lol.
Born in Arkansas, raised in Mississippi, served in Georgia, live in Oklahoma... Tennessee has music. Georgia has the food. Alabama has the accent. Louisiana has the culture... Mississippi may not be the "most" southern in any one category, but its the only southern state that encompass *all* the things that make the South southern.
Oh man, being from Alabama and going to the University of Alabama, I can not describe to you the joy I felt when he said "They some snitches" about Tennessee! That brought me back to the good ole days in college and put a smile on my face!
As a Floridian myself i have to say we are either EXTREMELY southern or a yankee transplant. Happy to report we are in the process of fixing them though👍
OK, let's get somethin' straight here, y'all. People FROM Florida are actually really nice people. It's the rejects who moved here from the Northern states that give us all a bad name. Still, tho, don't move here, we're full thanks!
I’m from Philly, no one likes New Yorkers in the north either. But New Yorkers and Floridians have together sounds like the inner most circle of hell to me
I recently learned that Florida has statistically the same number of crazy people getting arrested as you would expect of any other state just based on its population. The only reason you hear about it more in Florida is because of Florida's transparency in reporting crimes. Other states' privacy laws keep their crazy criminals out of the news, but Florida puts theirs on the front page and the 6:00 evening broadcast. 😂
It's amazing at what y'all have and do. I have seen Huntsville and it took my breath. If you are ever in Atlanta go to the Fernbank Sicence Museum. You will get to see one of the Apollo mission capsules. It's AWESOME!!!! You can see the burn marks on the heat shield.
I had to laugh at how many of these had answers that I would have given. 1) For least southern city I immediately thought Atlanta, but then I felt immense guilt. 2) Least Southern state to me was Oklahoma because I view it as a Plains state with Kansas, Nebraska, Dakotas, Colorado and Montana. 3) For the most Southern state, I just could not choose between Alabama or Mississippi. I had no choice but to split the vote.
Colorado and Montana as "Plains States"...lol The least Southern state would easily be either Delaware or Maryland. Oklahoma definitely has some Midwestern vibes (of which about half of all Midwestern states are a part of the Great Plains) but it's still very much a Southern state.
As somebody who is from Atlanta, I have to disagree with you on this, Atlanta is most definitely a southern state, although over the years, it's apparently gotten less and less southern, because so many goddamn Northerners, and other people seem to think that it's a good place to be all of a sudden.
I pretty much agree with you, as someone who has lived in GA, SC, and NC (currently), but spent 40-some years in Atlanta metro. Atlanta is so diverse, with a lot of international folks (which is great, you have to go a long, long way to beat the food choices there) and people from all over the US, that it has lost a good bit of its Southern flavor and you hardly meet lifelong Atlantans anymore. Oklahoma I was surprised it was even here. I think of it like with Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri. They do have some drawl in parts, but it's more Midwest than Southern. Though I'll usually leave out Texas too, because as someone said, Houston east is pretty Southern, but there's a lot more to the state, and like the blonde said, they think of themselves as Texans first. For most Southern, I think Mississippi, Alabama, and rural Georgia are all as Southern as anyone could want, but Atlanta pulls Georgia down a notch in the rankings. I think having a boundary with Southern neighbors on all sides helps preserve it.
Only a small portion of the Southern Plains reaches down into Oklahoma and it’s on the far western side. Most of western Oklahoma is prairie. Prairie is a mix of trees and open land. This area I’m speaking of is big cattle ranch country in Oklahoma and there are also a lot of cotton farms in this area. It’s not the plains. The only portion of Oklahoma that you can call the plains is the panhandle and the northwest tip of Oklahoma. Even that feels more like the Southwest than the plains. About two thirds of Oklahoma is heavily wooded with tree covered hills and 5 lush mountain ranges, rivers, and a lot of lakes and water. The southeastern part of Oklahoma has swamps and alligators. Plains states don’t have alligators. Texas has way more ‘plains’ than Oklahoma and most, nor do I, consider Texas to be a plains state. In the plains you get tumbleweed. Funny thing, I never saw a tumbleweed until I moved to eastern Colorado for a couple months as a kid. I haven’t seen any since. 😂
She doesn't have a Texas drawl, though. She has an inland West Valley accent, if not Californian. Also: Texas is part of the Greater Appalachian region, i.e., the Appalachian diaspora, and is distinct from the Deep South region. I may be a Yankee, but I'm a Washingtonian inland West Yankee, not a Left Coast Yankee. I live around a LOT of people that moved up from west Texas and southern California to the Columbia Basin for cheaper cost of living. More $$ to build McMansions. I'm not Southern, but I have an idea about Texas and Cali influences.
@@jaklumen Texas has a diverse and wide range of accents -- East Tx for example might as well be its own culture, quite different from the accent found in the south San Antonio region. There IS no one "Texas drawl" (except in the movies). ETA: I'm speaking from my own experience and opinion, I'm not a linguist 😅
@@jaklumen I've lived throughout Texas and can confirm what cobaltium said. There isn't a single Texas accent, there are a couple with varying amounts of drawl. Around the big cities/college towns they're vanishing, but you get out of that bubble and it's a treat. Especially fun is the Tex-German accent in and around Fredericksburg.
jaklumen, coming from North West~ish Texas, though I probably sound like a broken record, there’s a ton of accents around here. The funniest thing is though, if you have one person on a call/around you(pre-pandemic) with a southern drawl, everyone starts slightly talking with one. It’s the best.
I’m a 71 year old North Carolinian , born here and will die here , God willing. Now , I have been saying for years there are no vacancies in North Carolina, we are full . 😁🥰
This was utterly delightful. I'm a Californian who lived in Atlanta then Durham for 15 years (with a father from TN), and while I am not Southern, I have a heart for the South. This video made me smile beginning to end. Thank you, It's a Southern Thing!
I'm Oklahoman and my wife is Texan. She said, almost word for word, the same thing as the Texas girl in the video, so I told her they train Texans from birth to think the same (regarding Texas). She of course disagreed, so I proved it to her: Me: "The stars at night, are big and bright..." Her: Me: Ha! Trained! I'm kidding. I love all my southern brothers and sisters and thank you for finally allowing Oklahoma into the southern states club.
The one time I have been to Mississippi, I could literally feel the southern-ness. the weather, how people talk/relate to each other, the pride that they have in their state. So I'd rank that most southern state I've been to.
The 2 times I drove through Mississippi got stuck behind a wreck and so people got out of their cars and started throwing footbalss around. Yes it is the most southern state.
I know right XD We have all the full scale rocket models at the entrance and have a full scale model of the tank and boosters of the Atlantis shuttle as well as the REAL Atlantis shuttle inside the building next to it. There is also a full scale model of the Saturn V with sections separated that you can walk under. Sooooo.....sorry but who needs Huntsville's 😂😂😂 Imo its much more impressive to walk under the rocket and see where the sections connect and stuff.
@@kfern258 have you been to the space and rocket center? You walk under the Saturn rocket there as well. The rooms are filled with actual pieces from the different missions. So, if ever you get the chance you should go. Especially if you actually like space related museums. It's just a fun place. I'm not sure why there is some rivalry or hostility here. It's not that deep. I've loved the Cape, and Houston for that matter, the again I work in the space industry. I just love space lol.
@@Lacie_Holly they suuuuuck! 😂 I would pray for snow every winter with little to no luck. We get the cold, wet, icky part of winter but none of the snow! Just ice.
@@tonyawallace5297 I work for a hospitality business and I once got asked when it was around 90-100 degrees (with humidity making it hotter, of course) if we ever closed when it was too hot. I tried not to laugh too much and told him we could be open in 120 degree heat index but closed with two inches of snow because none of us can drive in it. 😂😂
The southerness of Florida is heavily dependent on two factors. How far south you go, and how close you are to the coast. Inland central FL is VERY southern.
And please for the love of all that is good and holy, STOP TRYING TO DRIVE HERE! Please. Not even the native Altantans understand the roads; you sure as hell won't
As a North Carolinian, I can confirm that everyone wants to move to our state. Also gotta love how Texas is simultaneously the least and most Southern state. That just about sums it up, I think.
As a North Carolinian, every bit of this video is true. We have it all; seasons, beaches, good sports teams, and we are the true "Carolina", unlike that pretender just south of us. ;) 🍷 🧀
Everytime I hear MS is the most Southern I get mad, people completely forget about South Carolina the founders of Sweet tea and first state to point the middle finger to the north and arguably the best training ground for our Military.
Then there is anticipation season. It's when the meteorologists tell us we will have a HUGE thunderstorm and advises to close schools. Then nothing happens. Not even a drop of rain. This a true story.
I definitely want to visit now, here in bama we got summerrrrrrrrr than a little bit of fall than a little bit of winter springs here don’t even count because it basically summer just with pollen
Just remember that Florida is mostly pine trees plus we got everything South Carolina does: pollen season, big bugs, flooding, tiny hills, bipolar weather, tornadoes, hurricanes, lovebug season, NFL rivalry, high school football rivalry, college football rivalry, random urban swamps, bogs, and creeks anywhere, biscuits over bagels, and to top it all off, cheerleaders that wear way too baggy clothes for the sake of modesty. And I'm describing South FL. Bless y'all hearts if you think central and south Fl ain't southern.
When everyone was saying florida is not southern I was feeling anger rise in me and then mat said the panhandle is the most southern you can get and I felt at peace again. Lol
I know! I split my childhood between Virginia and Georgia and have lived my entire adult life in Virginia and there are places here that are way more stereotypically southern than places in Georgia!
Drake Just go into Western Maryland, at the West Virginia border. Hillbilly country is fun. And no, hillbilly is not a derogatory term for the people who coined the term.
I've lived in Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina , and Kentucky and I loved and appreciated them all they were all unique with their own beauty, but at least for me Kentucky is and will always be home.
As a Texan allow me to clarify. East Texas is quite southern. Then you have N Texas,the panhandle and Oklahoma which are great plains. The Hill country in the center which is unique unto itself. Possibly the most "texan" if you ignore Austin the capital. W Texas goes with the western, NM and Ariz. outlook. And south Texas, strongest area of Mexican culture. Together we create the most diverse yet most uniquely cohesive subculture in the US.
Plus it's the state with that flew the most flags. Think about it, 1st it was Spanish, then Mexican, then Texan, then American, then Confederate, & went back to American. So all in all, they flew 6 flags.
As a southeast Texan, I support this assessment. And SETX is kinda our own thing because we have such a Cajun influence. Texas is just a microcosm of the world.
You should definitely have this group back! I really enjoyed the majority of them and I enjoy hearing the perspectives of all the different southern states.
It was sprawling and huge when I moved there 30 years ago and it's only gotten larger. It has some nice spots, but I rarely leave the mountains anymore to come down except an Braves game every couple of years.
Greenville SC(well, technically San Souci) here, I avoid Myrtle Beach at all cost. It's an easy pass for me. With that being said, I'm more of a mountain person. 🤷
Considering the absolute madhouse that Knoxville became after Tennessee beat Alabama in 2022, it's safe to say that's Tennessee's biggest rival. And yes, as a Tennesseean, I enjoyed every minute of hearing about it!
I grew up and live in Virginia. When I was growing up I spent Friday Saturday and Sunday in North Carolina. There are subtle differences between Virginia and North Carolina but other than that Virginia is most definitely Southern. I do not understand why people don't think of Virginia is being Southern.
I am a Texan and I just think Texas has so many layers. I mean we have not only our Texan culture, but our Southern, Western, and Mexican cultures. Texas is all around greatness.
As someone who is from AL and has lived in SC, FL, MS, LA, MD and VA, I got here as fast as I could. I have travelled all over this country and there are some beautiful places to admire and enjoy but when I come back to Texas, I just want to kiss the ground and thank God that I am blessed to live in Texas. Been here 25 years (longest I've lived anywhere) and won't be leaving except when my heart stops ticking.
I am from Georgia. I love all of y'all. I have met so many great people from East to West. But the South is so different and so beautiful with it's scenery and culture. And I don't know who you are from Kentucky but you are absolutely stunning! From your voice, personality, and beauty!
Tennessee is literally the most Southern because it touches more Southern states than any other state! We've got a bit of culture from every other bordering state regionally combined with our own.
I LOVE how Tennessee just slips past all the radars... that's how we prefer it. However, I grew up on the TN/AL border, so I do feel the love there, lol
@@markreeter6227 Yeah, and I totally get it. It would be hard to leave, but you have to look at laws, freedoms, and taxes.... for retirees, that's a different set of rules.
Enjoyed watching this video about southern states roasting each other. However, I noticed not much was mentioned about Arkansas. It is indeed a southern state with some of the most friendly people you would ever meet, but one that is perceived as the red head step child that never got any attention among the more refined siblings. 😢
As a native Virginian I thought I was super Southern (especially since I grew up in SW near the NC line). Until I moved to GA and married into the SEC.... That said, I was always proud of being a Virginian and the role the state plays in our very beginnings. Home to so many of our Founding Fathers. And yes, it was the heart of the Confederacy. And the correct answer to what school we hate most in college football? We don't play them anymore, but it was WVU... bunch of couch burners ;) the Virginia Tech/UVa rivalry probably beats any out of state teams with the possible mutual exception of Miami. Any why exactly is OK in this? Texas is really it's own thing and OK is solid midwest. West Virginia is more southern than they are 🤷♀️
I was born and raised in Georgia, raised in Atlanta, lived in Covington, Blakely, Macon, and I really wish I couldn't agree with y'all about Atlanta, you're definitely speaking the truth, and based on what I've heard things have only gotten worse, with all these damn transplants coming down.
I would move to Chattanooga, Tennessee because it’s similar to where I am from but different scenery!! But NC is close to my heart! I would miss the beaches!!
I’m from Virginia. Virginia should really be divided into two states: northern Virginia and southern Virginia. Northern Virginia is not southern, and they now dominate the politics. All I hear from everyone around here is how they want to move to North Carolina, myself included. LOL!
I moved to Big Stone Gap, VA for two years for a job after growing up in nyc. Dear lord that was a culture shock. It is as southern as I’ve ever seen. 100%.
Born and raised in 'Bama, and I always say that while the rest of the country makes fun of Alabama for how southern we are, Mississippi is what Alabamians make fun of. At the least, we're dead tied for most southern state. I totally agree that Florida is the least, excluding the panhandle. Most of the panhandle belongs more to 'Bama culturally.
I must defend my homestate of Virginia. We are incredibly southern, just don't go north of Fredericksburg, and everything about the great Commonwealth speaks to our Southern-ness. This from someone who comes from a town called Farmville.
As a Connecticut yankee, i travelled a bit through Virginia, and except for an accent it didnt seem southern until I got to the Dismal Swamp! Sorry to disappoint ya, but . . .
Everything North of Fredericksburg should mind as well join Washington DC at that point. If they could just give DC that than I might consider supporting DC statehood since it makes Virginia red like the rest of the south.
@@inconnu4961 Interstate traveler, huh? I don't see much South along any interstates whether I'm in Arkansas, Alabama or Virginia. Come to the huge swaths of rural Virginia countryside & you'll see nothing but deep South in all mannerisms, symbols & Southern living. Southside... Appalachia... the southern Shenandoah Valley where I live... if you wanna find the South which defines Virginia, you must get off the highways & away from the cities. Rural Virginia is Dixie... heart & soul.
@@j-svfc I spent some time in Richmond and Tidewater. Never made it to the mountains, but I will take a peek into Shenandoah next time i make it that way!
@@inconnu4961 You won't forget the experience! The southern Shenandoah Valley is one of the most beautiful places in the country & it's all southern mannerisms with kindly folks living life in a peaceful serene bucolic setting. This area is the best kept secret in the South & we prefer to keep it our secret! Come visit anytime you wish. Incredible biscuits & pork tenderloin gravy, spectacular BBQ, lush rolling hills with gorgeous mountain sightlines surrounding you everywhere... and... real Southern accents, hahaha!!! Yep... Y'all HAVE to get off the interstate to appreciate true Virginia South if y'all are travelin' in Virginny!!!
I’m a 4th generation Floridian in central Florida and I proudly claim my southern roots. Those “Florida Man” stories are about people who moved here from other states, they are not Floridians or southern.
Dude I lived there for awhile yeah it's a punching bag, sorry but to many northerners esp from New York and Jersey move there they r not nice people, besides if I remember right yall got the conch republic there Florida Keys weird people, native Floridans are chill and cool though but soo weird
I live in NC so this was pretty flattering! I love living within driving distance of the beach and the mountains, made for a lot of really fun family vacations growing up.
I’m from a small town in the northern part of Florida (about 1 hour from Georgia) and I definitely consider us apart of the south. We hunt in the winter,eat sausage gravy with biscuits for breakfast,love football and constantly say “y’all “. 😂
Courtney Shaw that’s ok, we Okies don’t accept y’all either 😆 seriously though, when it comes to natural disasters Oklahoma & Texas has been there for each other.
My dad was born and raised in Florida, not far from Tampa; and I will say he is a special kind of southern to have grown up hunting rattle snakes and feeding marshmallows to gators on trails. My mom is also certified southern, being from Ft Smith, Arkansas while helping out with the family farm in Oklahoma. I appreciate my southern upbringing and pray that what southern charms I have left rub off on my little girls.
Florida is a real mix, and depends on your location. When I worked there as a teacher, I was very surprised that fellow teachers, students, and parents were as southern as any other part of the south. With the constant flood of tourists, it can be difficult to locate the native Floridians. Born in Mississippi, I still rank it as the most well mannered southern state.
I live in South Carolina , I feel like our rival in football is instate. There's a huge rivalry between UofSC and Clemson, that's probably the most hyped game each season.
@Leah Beck the funny thing is he went to South Carolina and worked for the athletic department. Not sure why his answers were all horrible. But he’s originally from Maryland, so he’s not a true South Carolinian, so maybe that’s why.
@@janiceseppala3543 wait what no the panhandle of Florida and mobile al share the gulf of Mexico along with Texas Mississippi and Louisiana Edit: and Mexico
@@noahcart East Coast is very different from the Gulf. The Atlantic side has different sand & waves. The Gulf on the West Coast is calmer & the sand is softer.
As a South Floridian not from Miami, we don't like North FL, New York, and Atlanta either. Y'all must really think we are your opposite; Florida even got way more pine trees and Spanish moss than palm trees, we ain't "The Tropical Yankee Beaches", and if you still believe so, then bless your heart.
It’s so weird living in a part of a state that doesn’t feel like the rest of the state. For instance I live in the gulf coast of Mississippi and it’s such a different vibe compared to somewhere like Vicksburg or Laurel. My accent compared to upstate is nowhere near as strong because of our high tourism (because of all of the casinos and the beach) and an air force and Seabees base nearby so it gets diluted a bit.
I'm from Tennessee Where I'd move: Georgia or North Carolina What college team do we hate: Alabama, Kentucky basketball Overrated: Nashville (I'm sorry) Landmark: Honestly I don't know, I'm content with what we Have (and I can tell they agree) Least southern state: Florida Most southern state: Alabama/Mississippi
Lila childers isn’t that kinda subjective tho? I find it to be overrated in some aspects, overrated doesn’t equate to bad. It simply refers to people rating it higher in some aspects in comparison to others, it’s subjective

why did they take down the one on the highway?
I had to laugh at how many of these had answers that I would have given.

2) Least Southern state to me was Oklahoma because I view it as a Plains state with Kansas, Nebraska, Dakotas, Colorado and Montana.
3) For the most Southern state, I just could not choose between Alabama or Mississippi. I had no choice but to split the vote.
Colorado and Montana as "Plains States"...lol
The least Southern state would easily be either Delaware or Maryland. Oklahoma definitely has some Midwestern vibes (of which about half of all Midwestern states are a part of the Great Plains) but it's still very much a Southern state.

As somebody who is from Atlanta, I have to disagree with you on this, Atlanta is most definitely a southern state, although over the years, it's apparently gotten less and less southern, because so many goddamn Northerners, and other people seem to think that it's a good place to be all of a sudden.
I pretty much agree with you, as someone who has lived in GA, SC, and NC (currently), but spent 40-some years in Atlanta metro.
Atlanta is so diverse, with a lot of international folks (which is great, you have to go a long, long way to beat the food choices there) and people from all over the US, that it has lost a good bit of its Southern flavor and you hardly meet lifelong Atlantans anymore.
Oklahoma I was surprised it was even here. I think of it like with Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri. They do have some drawl in parts, but it's more Midwest than Southern. Though I'll usually leave out Texas too, because as someone said, Houston east is pretty Southern, but there's a lot more to the state, and like the blonde said, they think of themselves as Texans first.
For most Southern, I think Mississippi, Alabama, and rural Georgia are all as Southern as anyone could want, but Atlanta pulls Georgia down a notch in the rankings. I think having a boundary with Southern neighbors on all sides helps preserve it.
Only a small portion of the Southern Plains reaches down into Oklahoma and it’s on the far western side. Most of western Oklahoma is prairie. Prairie is a mix of trees and open land. This area I’m speaking of is big cattle ranch country in Oklahoma and there are also a lot of cotton farms in this area. It’s not the plains. The only portion of Oklahoma that you can call the plains is the panhandle and the northwest tip of Oklahoma. Even that feels more like the Southwest than the plains. About two thirds of Oklahoma is heavily wooded with tree covered hills and 5 lush mountain ranges, rivers, and a lot of lakes and water. The southeastern part of Oklahoma has swamps and alligators. Plains states don’t have alligators. Texas has way more ‘plains’ than Oklahoma and most, nor do I, consider Texas to be a plains state. In the plains you get tumbleweed. Funny thing, I never saw a tumbleweed until I moved to eastern Colorado for a couple months as a kid. I haven’t seen any since. 😂
Native Texan here and I would like to say to the young lady representing us:
Nailed it. Thank you, ma'am! 💯
When she said Texas was least southern my jaw dropped, then she said that we’re Texans first and I said out loud “she’s not wrong”
She doesn't have a Texas drawl, though. She has an inland West Valley accent, if not Californian. Also: Texas is part of the Greater Appalachian region, i.e., the Appalachian diaspora, and is distinct from the Deep South region.
I may be a Yankee, but I'm a Washingtonian inland West Yankee, not a Left Coast Yankee. I live around a LOT of people that moved up from west Texas and southern California to the Columbia Basin for cheaper cost of living. More $$ to build McMansions. I'm not Southern, but I have an idea about Texas and Cali influences.
@@jaklumen Texas has a diverse and wide range of accents -- East Tx for example might as well be its own culture, quite different from the accent found in the south San Antonio region. There IS no one "Texas drawl" (except in the movies).
ETA: I'm speaking from my own experience and opinion, I'm not a linguist 😅
@@jaklumen I've lived throughout Texas and can confirm what cobaltium said. There isn't a single Texas accent, there are a couple with varying amounts of drawl. Around the big cities/college towns they're vanishing, but you get out of that bubble and it's a treat. Especially fun is the Tex-German accent in and around Fredericksburg.
jaklumen, coming from North West~ish Texas, though I probably sound like a broken record, there’s a ton of accents around here. The funniest thing is though, if you have one person on a call/around you(pre-pandemic) with a southern drawl, everyone starts slightly talking with one. It’s the best.
"What the least Southern southern state?"
Me, a KY Girl: "Kentucky."
KY girl in the vid: "Kentucky."
Idk I think Virginia is less southern than us
Depends on what part of KY... go to eastern KY 😅 it’s very Appalachian/hillbilly/country/southern
I’m from Ky also 😂
I’m from KY too (more on the northern side) and I sooo agree
The midwest with southern tendencies.
I’m a 71 year old North Carolinian , born here and will die here , God willing. Now , I have been saying for years there are no vacancies in North Carolina, we are full . 😁🥰
This was utterly delightful. I'm a Californian who lived in Atlanta then Durham for 15 years (with a father from TN), and while I am not Southern, I have a heart for the South. This video made me smile beginning to end. Thank you, It's a Southern Thing!
(least southern state)
"Texas"
alright time to teach thi-
"Because we're Texans first and Southern second"
oh... yeah you have a point
Florida though
my thoughts exactly
right on
I'm Oklahoman and my wife is Texan. She said, almost word for word, the same thing as the Texas girl in the video, so I told her they train Texans from birth to think the same (regarding Texas). She of course disagreed, so I proved it to her:
Me: "The stars at night, are big and bright..."
Her:
Me: Ha! Trained!
I'm kidding. I love all my southern brothers and sisters and thank you for finally allowing Oklahoma into the southern states club.
Well people who live in Tennessee are Tennesseans first and then Southerners
Texas is NOT part of The South. We're Texan, and nothing else.
The one time I have been to Mississippi, I could literally feel the southern-ness. the weather, how people talk/relate to each other, the pride that they have in their state. So I'd rank that most southern state I've been to.
The 2 times I drove through Mississippi got stuck behind a wreck and so people got out of their cars and started throwing footbalss around. Yes it is the most southern state.
@txsportsfreak02 where is the lie?! 🤣🤣
Yes, as a Floridian, I worked in Mississippi for a year. They have Southern holidays I never heard of😂.

Everyone from KY: L's DOWN BABY

The Florida Guy wanting the rockets from Huntsville, Boy is he in for a big surprise when he finds out about Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center 😂
Lol thought the same thing. I guess he forgot it was there
I know right XD We have all the full scale rocket models at the entrance and have a full scale model of the tank and boosters of the Atlantis shuttle as well as the REAL Atlantis shuttle inside the building next to it. There is also a full scale model of the Saturn V with sections separated that you can walk under. Sooooo.....sorry but who needs Huntsville's 😂😂😂 Imo its much more impressive to walk under the rocket and see where the sections connect and stuff.
Nah, he probably knows, he just wants to steal Huntsville's too!
Hell he could watch them take off there!! Coming from a Huntsvillian. Love the Cape! Always supporting the space cities!
@@kfern258 have you been to the space and rocket center? You walk under the Saturn rocket there as well. The rooms are filled with actual pieces from the different missions. So, if ever you get the chance you should go. Especially if you actually like space related museums. It's just a fun place. I'm not sure why there is some rivalry or hostility here. It's not that deep. I've loved the Cape, and Houston for that matter, the again I work in the space industry. I just love space lol.
Mississippi: "Summer with two weeks of fall" yep, that sums it up.
In southern Mississippi, yeah. But in north MS, it stays cold for far too long.

@@Lacie_Holly they suuuuuck! 😂 I would pray for snow every winter with little to no luck. We get the cold, wet, icky part of winter but none of the snow! Just ice.
@@tonyawallace5297 I work for a hospitality business and I once got asked when it was around 90-100 degrees (with humidity making it hotter, of course) if we ever closed when it was too hot. I tried not to laugh too much and told him we could be open in 120 degree heat index but closed with two inches of snow because none of us can drive in it. 😂😂
@@Lacie_Holly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣(I snorted laughing)
That should be in the Southern Constitution. 😂😂😂
As someone who was from Atlanta who lives and was mostly raised in NC, most of us don't like Atlanta, but I love it 😂
The southerness of Florida is heavily dependent on two factors. How far south you go, and how close you are to the coast. Inland central FL is VERY southern.
5:23 Former Atlantan, and yes. Atlanta is really overrated. Please stop coming out of the airport and leave us alone.
That airport needs its own zip code itself... Its huge!!!
“Columbia SC is a little overrated...”
I didn’t realize it was ever even rated.
And please for the love of all that is good and holy, STOP TRYING TO DRIVE HERE! Please. Not even the native Altantans understand the roads; you sure as hell won't
Ezrea friend if you weren’t the closest IKEA in 200 miles we would leave you be😂😂
@@prilknight I'll give you IKEA. They're worthwhile.
As a North Carolinian, I can confirm that everyone wants to move to our state.
Also gotta love how Texas is simultaneously the least and most Southern state. That just about sums it up, I think.
Texas is a separate culture in and out of itself.
I am Texan, and we are most definitely southern. Austin doesn't count and Dallas is 3/4 way out the door.
Born in SC but raised in NC - I married into Montana, but boy I do not miss how many people were in my neck of the woods back there.
@@victoriacarter6467 I was told Dallas Fort Worth is comprised of Kansas stock and reflects Kansas Midwest culture, from someone that lives there.
As a South Carolinian I can say that not everyone wants to move to NC.
Let’s be honest North Carolina has everything, all four seasons in one day, mountain on one side, beach on the other, it is amazing (I live in NC)
So does va va and nc are my favorite many just because I've lived in both
As a North Carolinian, every bit of this video is true. We have it all; seasons, beaches, good sports teams, and we are the true "Carolina", unlike that pretender just south of us. ;) 🍷 🧀
Most Southern for me is the trifecta of Mississippi, Alabama & Georgia. Ya gotta have the draaaawwwwlll.
Everytime I hear MS is the most Southern I get mad, people completely forget about South Carolina the founders of Sweet tea and first state to point the middle finger to the north and arguably the best training ground for our Military.
@@tcs07d I live in South Carolina. I hate it here
@@TheLakeMorgan boo
@Matthew Garcia you talking to me, sha? I’m from New Iberia right in the thick of Acadiana. I know you’re not talking to me, right?!
I don't understand how they can be separated.
Oh yeah, NC has all the seasons, plus some you ain't never heard of.
There's one season that I like to call "collaboration." It's where all the seasons show up in a 24 hour period.
I promise we in Oklahoma know all about that! Plus, we know how to drive on ice and in snow. I am Georgia native transplanted to the OK state.
@@jabronjunklove760 yup!
Then there is anticipation season. It's when the meteorologists tell us we will have a HUGE thunderstorm and advises to close schools. Then nothing happens. Not even a drop of rain. This a true story.
I definitely want to visit now, here in bama we got summerrrrrrrrr than a little bit of fall than a little bit of winter springs here don’t even count because it basically summer just with pollen
Dear Folks:
Wow, What a great edition of your program! Please Give us More! (Soon to be retiring to Austin Texas!)
Thank You
Geti KasperKaplan
Just remember that Florida is mostly pine trees plus we got everything South Carolina does: pollen season, big bugs, flooding, tiny hills, bipolar weather, tornadoes, hurricanes, lovebug season, NFL rivalry, high school football rivalry, college football rivalry, random urban swamps, bogs, and creeks anywhere, biscuits over bagels, and to top it all off, cheerleaders that wear way too baggy clothes for the sake of modesty. And I'm describing South FL. Bless y'all hearts if you think central and south Fl ain't southern.
When everyone was saying florida is not southern I was feeling anger rise in me and then mat said the panhandle is the most southern you can get and I felt at peace again.
Lol
I was born in Florida and my parents families (Texans and South Carolinians) say I'm not Southern because it's tropical not Southern.
I have heard people say that Northern Florida is southern and Southen Florida isnt Southern
@@DepthsOfOcanthus I feel bad for you lol my whole family considers themselves southern and we were all born on the panhandle.

@@rbeck3200tb40 I was born in Pensacola so I should be good, then!
Y'all, Virginia is southern, northern Virginia isn't but the rest is
Right!
Northern Virginia is still much more southern than when you get above Maryland
I know! I split my childhood between Virginia and Georgia and have lived my entire adult life in Virginia and there are places here that are way more stereotypically southern than places in Georgia!
Drake Just go into Western Maryland, at the West Virginia border. Hillbilly country is fun. And no, hillbilly is not a derogatory term for the people who coined the term.
VA needs to give the area around DC to them they are screwing up Commonwealth!!!!
I've lived in Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina , and Kentucky and I loved and appreciated them all they were all unique with their own beauty, but at least for me Kentucky is and will always be home.
From New Bern,NC it’s really nice to hear that people really like that state
I live in Huntsville, and they'd have to fight us for that rocket shuttle lol.
Yep that actually true
💯
facts, that shuttle is Huntsville and they'd have to kill us to take it
No!) there is space camp for family and it look fun and they not try to kill you okay
Same. They take our rocket over my dead body lol.
As a Texan allow me to clarify.
East Texas is quite southern.
Then you have N Texas,the panhandle and Oklahoma which are great plains.
The Hill country in the center which is unique unto itself. Possibly the most "texan" if you ignore Austin the capital.
W Texas goes with the western, NM and Ariz. outlook.
And south Texas, strongest area of Mexican culture.
Together we create the most diverse yet most uniquely cohesive subculture in the US.
Plus it's the state with that flew the most flags. Think about it, 1st it was Spanish, then Mexican, then Texan, then American, then Confederate, & went back to American. So all in all, they flew 6 flags.
As a southeast Texan, I support this assessment. And SETX is kinda our own thing because we have such a Cajun influence. Texas is just a microcosm of the world.
@@tspawn35 yet people go to San Antonio and the valley for TEXMEX, and people go to West Texas for the Mexican food.
Oklahoma is way more than great plains, you must never have east of I-35
Man im bout to end all the Austin slander. Slander California, Austin is Texas.
I love being Southern and I love all y'all.
I welcome all fellow Southerners to NC. Ours is yours.
but if you're from WI or CA, please go away.
You should definitely have this group back! I really enjoyed the majority of them and I enjoy hearing the perspectives of all the different southern states.
Half of them calling Atlanta overated and I agree😂~ An Atlantian
You have six flag there so it not overrate
It was sprawling and huge when I moved there 30 years ago and it's only gotten larger. It has some nice spots, but I rarely leave the mountains anymore to come down except an Braves game every couple of years.
I love visiting there and seeing all the different things, but could never live there too many people
Best part of Atlanta is the cities outside of Atlanta

As a Floridian, I agree with most of what the Florida guy said. All the love and all the hate stays in state.
Considering the absolute madhouse that Knoxville became after Tennessee beat Alabama in 2022, it's safe to say that's Tennessee's biggest rival. And yes, as a Tennesseean, I enjoyed every minute of hearing about it!
The Louisiana lady is just fantastic. So pretty and the most adorable laughter.
That lady really filled the room with her delightful personality. I totally agree.
Louisiana women are radiant and we are usually fantastic cooks.
The crush is real
I grew up and live in Virginia. When I was growing up I spent Friday Saturday and Sunday in North Carolina. There are subtle differences between Virginia and North Carolina but other than that Virginia is most definitely Southern. I do not understand why people don't think of Virginia is being Southern.
yea, I grew up in the DC suburbs in northern Virginia and they are not southern at all, but the rest of Virginia is most definitely southern
Virginia is basically Florida flipped upside down. The further north(VA)/south(FL) you get, the less southern it is.
I think it’s because all of the transplants that are moving into NOVA
Those danged cities that every self-respecting Virginian wants to see ceded to maryland
DC! Its a festering boil on the face of America!
“Expensive Cowboy that will never touch the dirt.” Savage…
As another Floridian, I agree that we are crazy
I am a Texan and I just think Texas has so many layers. I mean we have not only our Texan culture, but our Southern, Western, and Mexican cultures. Texas is all around greatness.
yep. Texas is just to big and great to fit into one region
We are like an onion!! West Texan here!🙂
Texas: No, seriously, why would we ever move anywhere else?
So we can move back and say "They're crazy out there."
This!
To get away from the heat.
When I rented it an apartment in Texas there was a mold in the closet,.
Don't get me started about Texas it was super weird...
As someone who is from AL and has lived in SC, FL, MS, LA, MD and VA, I got here as fast as I could. I have travelled all over this country and there are some beautiful places to admire and enjoy but when I come back to Texas, I just want to kiss the ground and thank God that I am blessed to live in Texas. Been here 25 years (longest I've lived anywhere) and won't be leaving except when my heart stops ticking.
I am from Georgia. I love all of y'all. I have met so many great people from East to West. But the South is so different and so beautiful with it's scenery and culture. And I don't know who you are from Kentucky but you are absolutely stunning! From your voice, personality, and beauty!
Tennessee is literally the most Southern because it touches more Southern states than any other state! We've got a bit of culture from every other bordering state regionally combined with our own.
Tennessee was the last state the join the Confederacy and it touches a midwestern. Its definitely not the most southern
I LOVE how Tennessee just slips past all the radars... that's how we prefer it. However, I grew up on the TN/AL border, so I do feel the love there, lol
TN now being considered favorably by retirees like the Carolinas were 20+ years ago. The state is no longer 'under the radar' in that respect.
@@markreeter6227 Yeah, and I totally get it. It would be hard to leave, but you have to look at laws, freedoms, and taxes.... for retirees, that's a different set of rules.

One is a golden child the other is the disappointment.
Enjoyed watching this video about southern states roasting each other. However, I noticed not much was mentioned about Arkansas. It is indeed a southern state with some of the most friendly people you would ever meet, but one that is perceived as the red head step child that never got any attention among the more refined siblings. 😢
"We're Texan first and Southern second"
Top ten truest sentences ever spoken.
She said Virginia is the least southern? Surprising she thinks that because Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy.
I think they were thinking more geographically because Virginia isn't super southern
As a native Virginian I thought I was super Southern (especially since I grew up in SW near the NC line). Until I moved to GA and married into the SEC....
That said, I was always proud of being a Virginian and the role the state plays in our very beginnings. Home to so many of our Founding Fathers. And yes, it was the heart of the Confederacy.
And the correct answer to what school we hate most in college football? We don't play them anymore, but it was WVU... bunch of couch burners ;) the Virginia Tech/UVa rivalry probably beats any out of state teams with the possible mutual exception of Miami.
Any why exactly is OK in this? Texas is really it's own thing and OK is solid midwest. West Virginia is more southern than they are 🤷♀️
Haven't you heard? They cancelled Richmond as the capital of the Confederacy. We're in the Mid-Atlantic now!

I was born and raised in Georgia, raised in Atlanta, lived in Covington, Blakely, Macon, and I really wish I couldn't agree with y'all about Atlanta, you're definitely speaking the truth, and based on what I've heard things have only gotten worse, with all these damn transplants coming down.
I would move to Chattanooga, Tennessee because it’s similar to where I am from but different scenery!! But NC is close to my heart! I would miss the beaches!!
I feel the same! I’m from Richmond, VA and I’m craving something a little more southern
Virginia not in the South? Come spend a little time in rural VA west of Roanoke. You will change your mind.
I’m from Virginia. Virginia should really be divided into two states: northern Virginia and southern Virginia. Northern Virginia is not southern, and they now dominate the politics. All I hear from everyone around here is how they want to move to North Carolina, myself included. LOL!

I moved to Big Stone Gap, VA for two years for a job after growing up in nyc. Dear lord that was a culture shock. It is as southern as I’ve ever seen. 100%.
Born and raised in 'Bama, and I always say that while the rest of the country makes fun of Alabama for how southern we are, Mississippi is what Alabamians make fun of. At the least, we're dead tied for most southern state. I totally agree that Florida is the least, excluding the panhandle. Most of the panhandle belongs more to 'Bama culturally.
Loved the video Hello from Texas
I must defend my homestate of Virginia. We are incredibly southern, just don't go north of Fredericksburg, and everything about the great Commonwealth speaks to our Southern-ness. This from someone who comes from a town called Farmville.
As a Connecticut yankee, i travelled a bit through Virginia, and except for an accent it didnt seem southern until I got to the Dismal Swamp! Sorry to disappoint ya, but . . .
Everything North of Fredericksburg should mind as well join Washington DC at that point. If they could just give DC that than I might consider supporting DC statehood since it makes Virginia red like the rest of the south.
@@inconnu4961 Interstate traveler, huh? I don't see much South along any interstates whether I'm in Arkansas, Alabama or Virginia.

I’m a 4th generation Floridian in central Florida and I proudly claim my southern roots. Those “Florida Man” stories are about people who moved here from other states, they are not Floridians or southern.

Moved from Atlanta to Tampa for work and stayed 4 years and loved it
No offense, but it is shaped like one.😜
I live in NC so this was pretty flattering! I love living within driving distance of the beach and the mountains, made for a lot of really fun family vacations growing up.
I live close to HWY 421. On my days off I flip a coin to decide if I'm going West to the mountains or East to the Ocean. 421 ends in both.

My mom is also certified southern, being from Ft Smith, Arkansas while helping out with the family farm in Oklahoma.
I appreciate my southern upbringing and pray that what southern charms I have left rub off on my little girls.
Florida is a real mix, and depends on your location. When I worked there as a teacher, I was very surprised that fellow teachers, students, and parents were as southern as any other part of the south. With the constant flood of tourists, it can be difficult to locate the native Floridians. Born in Mississippi, I still rank it as the most well mannered southern state.
I’m from Florida. Atlanta, God bless you.
I live in South Carolina , I feel like our rival in football is instate. There's a huge rivalry between UofSC and Clemson, that's probably the most hyped game each season.

You are so right!

It’s so weird living in a part of a state that doesn’t feel like the rest of the state. For instance I live in the gulf coast of Mississippi and it’s such a different vibe compared to somewhere like Vicksburg or Laurel. My accent compared to upstate is nowhere near as strong because of our high tourism (because of all of the casinos and the beach) and an air force and Seabees base nearby so it gets diluted a bit.
