The whole Native American thing in Oklahoma really makes it different from any southern state.
What about the states that they came from? Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, and so forth?
There's a lot of southern tendencies in Oklahoma, the topography of where the Ozark foothills turn into the Southern Plains is about 10-15 miles west of Tulsa tracking to the northeast.
OKC is just trash and O&G money. Pretty much the lakes and Ozark foothills are the western border for me. In Texas, Dallas sometimes feels southern but it's not. It's the gateway to the Great American Southwest. Paris, TX would be the clear cut line in TX, and follow it due south to Houston.

Agreed.

I think a lot of you who are saying that Texas isn't southern are confusing the South with the Southeast or the Deep South.
IMO the western boundary of the southeast is probably the Mississippi River, but the broader south goes well into Texas.
Texas isn't southeastern, and it isn't deep south, but a lot of it is certainly southern.

"The Confederate Constitution of seven state signatories—South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas—formed a "permanent federal government" in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1861. Four additional slave-holding states—Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina—declared their secession and joined the Confederacy following a call by U. S. President Abraham Lincoln for troops from each state to recapture Sumter and other lost federal properties in the South."
Texas has always been a part of the south.

Northern VA has made a point to move themselves away from "The South"
And the Florida peninsula is the southern-most tip of the US, but they're certainly not "Southern".
Things change.

Technically, maybe.
Culturally, no.
And I like it that way, tbh.
