Are you trying to say that Nashville is a bunch of yankees and Tennessee is really just South Kentucky?
nashville residents are very southern. their definition of southern is modifyed some tho. middle tennessee has always been different than the south. seriously, hs football, in nashville is not viewed the same as elsewhere. the locals participate in many other sports and the private schools have been around for a long time and have nothing to do with the racial integration backlash. ice hockey teams, equestrian teams, lacrosse teams, wrestling teams, soccer teams, etc are alive and well at the high school level. nashiville is southern but very mid western as well. it's as close to chicago as it is to new orleans and much closer to st louis, cincinatti and indianapolis.

On top of what Granddad said, there are a lot of transplants in Middle Tennessee. There are a lot from Ohio and Michigan due to there being a couple of car factories here.

Few private schools have been around that long. The only one that comes to mind is MBA. A good portion of the private schools, in middle Tennessee at least, are white flight schools.
