The Ozark and Ouachita mountains were originally part of the Appalachians and aren't the people pretty much the same?

Saying Philadelphia's in the same cultural environment as Boise City, Oklahoma takes a special kind of stupidity

This map is surprisingly accurate. It roughly has half of Arkansas as Deep South. I would extend it all the way to Little Rock though. I would even argue that the Missouri boot heel has a Deep South culture and it has a 7B climate as well...the boot heel feels much more deep south than most of Tennessee excluding Memphis.
Growing up as a kid in LR, just travelling to South Arkansas seemed very foreign to me, while anywhere in Northern Arkansas did not. Some of my roots were in the MO boothill and so I spent a lot of time there as a kid. It was rural and poor, but it never seemed like the Deep South to me. Over the years, it seems like both have changed to become more like the Deep South, though, so I don't know.

While I agree that south Louisiana is culturally different from anywhere in the U.S., the comment about it being a "pocket of liberalism" is way off base.
One of the biggest ironies of state's politics is that Cajun communities are collectively minded, but they're fiercely republican in their political identities.
I'm surprised this hasn't received more attention. Thanks for pointing that out, because I think the map is pretty accurate, but that seems like a glaring fault. The author's probably giving social stances too much weight, thinking New Orleans is too risque for SLA to be conservative. Or, maybe he's associating SLA with Quebec more then he should be?

Royally screwed up Appalachia. East Tennessee has nothing in common with northern middle Illinois or Eastern New Mexico. So ridiculous.

It is much closer to Appalachia than it is the Deep South (as is southern Missouri).
Depends on what part of Arkansas. From Little Rock south and west it's deep south. Reminds you of Mississippi and Louisiana.

As far as Louisiana goes, it has both the best food and the best open container laws.
We win.

What states allow open containers?
Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia or Wyoming don't have open container laws that meet federal requirements. Only in Mississippi is it legal to drive while drinking an alcoholic beverage, according to the aptly named site OpenContainerLaws.com.

Virginia and North Carolina are definitely more southern than Missouri.

Well, I'm no geologist, but I've read that before. Found this on wikipedia, but it's the Ouachita mountains. And yea, I know it's wikipedia.

Food, no idea....but definitely not on open containers/alcohol laws. Missouri owns that shite.

How the hell is Texas lumped in with Appalachian culture? They're radically different.

Northern Arkansas is for sure but the map is about right with putting the other portions of Arkansas with the deep south, especially the delta areas.

The thing about food in the North is that a lot of people don't know how to season.
This is why you have ketchup as a primary sauce in many foods in Pittsburgh
