Wow. I opened the first page completely not intending to read through all 5 pages of the thread but....man this dude is somehow like...like South Louisiana itself is posting on the SECr. I thoroughly enjoyed that, and strangely understood every bit of it while it flew over every single Bama poster's head.
I did not expect to read nuances on the cultural histories of southern states but I applaud your efforts to educate, my good sir.
Well unless you are from South Louisiana, u don't get it. Someone from say from a Midwestern city that had large Catholic school systems and one day found yourself in say any area between New Orleans to Baton Rouge to the Florida parishes, save Washington parish and Northern Tangipahoa and then across the rural south in GA/AL/MS/TN, you will see it immediately.

Grew up in Baton Rouge, my family is from SW Louisiana. It's a bit different over that way but some of that core is still there since so much of that area was settled by the same folks that went through the same things. It may even be a bit more mixed over there other than in NOLA itself - Hwy 190 (my dividing line) swings awfully far south on that side of the state.

Went to school in Hammond and it was like a whole different world. People and things get squirrelly as you go north on 55 between Hammond and Memphis.

I'd highly recommend this book by one of my history professors at Southeastern. I'm confident you would enjoy it - if you haven't already read it.
