Out of all the people I have met, Missouri natives act the most Yankee.

Missouri is probably the most "Yankee" in the SEC, however, have you met Missourians who aren't from St. Louis? St. Louis has a very different culture from the rest of Missouri.

Most yankee states in the SEC Texas and Florida because they're the only ones voting for JoePa in a poll that pits him vs Summitt. Everyone else in the South, even non-SEC teams is showing love. Summitt has 8 titles and 100% graduation, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and Texas and Florida voters are picking the guy with 2 titles who covered up for a kiddy diddler.
Yelp not all people from the same state are the same. My vote would go to Summitt, not Joe pa. I wouldn't say florida and texas are the most Yankee, without putting Missouri with them. I don't really care that my state seems Yankee to SEC fans, but it's still the best state to visit or live in in the SEC. IMO

It is Missouri or Florida. Probably Florida. Dade and broward are by far the two most populous counties in florida and they are both full of new York, new jersey, and Boston transplants. Hell a football or basketball game between Miami and a new York team is about 60-40 or 70-30 Miami fans.

Miami is a lot more Hispanic than New York, but it is Yankee down there from about west palm all the way to south miami, but North Florida( north of Orlando) is very southern to me. I definetly think Missouri is the more Yank state.

Jacksonville isn't southern. Thankfully. Born and raised jax native here.

Missouri is a perfect blend of a state.

I would somewhat agree, I was raised in Jax Beach, and in no way is it southern at all, nor is most of J-Ville but I've met some of the most southern ppl in my life around Jacksonville, like Hilliard, Callahan, baker county, and McClellan are all real southerners.

Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia excluding ATL, and. South Carolina and parts of Louisiana still have the Deep South culture. The Cajun culture in parts of Louisiana is a culture all to its own IMO.

When I was in high school we had a guy transferd for somewhere around Jaxonville, north of there I believe. Anyway he was a damn cowboy. We still called him Yankee. Now that I coach we have a kid who transferred from Anniston, AL, and the kids refer to him as a Yankee lol.

FWIW "North of jax" and "Jax" are a world of difference culturally.

1. Florida
Florida North of Orlando is southern and redneck.
Florida south of Orlando to North Miami is New Jersey.
Florida south of North Miami is Cuba.

Most of Florida north of Orlando still isn't Southern. Some parts are but not most.

Even the trashy parts aren't necessarily southern. It's like a Florida-Georgia Line white-trash ghetto hybrid, which although taking on some southern persona, wouldn't fit in with the rednecks of the true south.

Exactly. Redneck and/or white trash is certainly not an exclusively Southern trait.

This is silly.
South of Orlando to Palm Beach County is some of the most rural areas in FL (excluding the coastline of course).
The coastline is heavily populated by transplants from Jax to Miami. Having great weather most of the year is both a bane and a blessing.

New Orleans is neither Yankee nor Southern. It's actually more European. Although, some New Orleanians and SELA residents are descendants of New York area transplants who traveled down to work at the Port of New Orleans in the late 1890s/early 1900s.
Thus, the Bronx/Brooklyn-ese dialects in some parts of NOLA and SE La and So. Miss.
The French Quarter is a combo of Paris, Greenwich Village, and any world fair.
The Fauborg Marigny and The Bywater have Spanish, Italian, German and French influences.
The Garden District/Uptown/Univesity area does have some southern influence, as well as European architecture.
Acadian dialects are mainly prevalent in south-central Louisiana, while Southern dialects are found more in northern Louisiana.
