Your first map:
I'm not saying I don't think that Arkansas is southern, I'm saying that I think SC is more southern.
Trace Southern history and culture back from where it is today. It is a history, at least in the deep south, of people moving east to west and bringing their way of life with them. The general flow is:
England/Scotland -> Barbados -> South Carolina -> Georgia -> Alabama and so on.
They brought the staple crops and chattel slavery with them when each new area opened up. South Carolina was the North American gateway for those settlers destined for the deep south.
The three cultural hearths of American history are:
SC - The South
VA - The mid-Atlantic
Mass - The North
Your second map:
Average distance between Fayetteville and original 10: 623 miles.
Average distance between Columbia and original 10: 420 miles.
The closest original SEC school to Arkansas is Ole Miss at 378 miles away. South Carolina has four SEC schools closer than that: UGA, UT, AU and UF.
The third map: I have no idea what you're trying to show with that. That Arkansans are southern and speak with a southern accent? I never said they didn't.

You didn't listen at all to what I said.
4 games a year were played in Little Rock by Arkansas. Ole Miss is the same distance to Little Rock as Fayetteville.
Take off 200 miles (distance from the hill to the rock) because 4 games a year were played in Little Rock. Now you'll understand why Arkansas was wonderful for western proximity.
The only thing that makes South Carolina more southern is minority population. They had to leave the union first or their state would've ceased to exist. (Reference map)
Now I understand your definition of "Southern" is deepest ties to the Civil War. That's all I wanted to know.
You're right, by that definition South Carolina is more southern than every single southern state without question.
