Well Texas isn't the south. Texas is Texas. So there is your answer.

Depends on where you are but from Pensacola to Lake City is basically Alabama with beaches and no state tax. It get a little more diverse the farther east you go. Head south and you’re basically going to south Jersey and the Bronx.

Missouri is the correct answer.

We are literate.

East Texas is, or at least used to be.

Also there are parts of Florida which are as Southern as anywhere in the South.

How is Florida not South? I'll do the opposite and say Florida is the most Southern of the 3 (by far).

Missouri is mid-West and Texas is Texas.

Texas has been successful at disassociating itself with the rest of the South post Civil War.

Florida is weird.

South Florida is barely America

Go from there for the next 200 miles either way it's rich white people from up North

Then go from Tampa to Orlando surrounding area is a healthy mix of everything from tourist, to local small towns, to Northerners


Then the panhandle is all Southern as well as North Florida besides Jacksonville

Everything off the coast is Southern minus Orlando, which still has pockets of old Florida. All the way down to Homestead.

I’d say Florida has the most and least Southern places of the 3 states.

Florida has places like Jacksonville and Pensacola that are more southern than any place in Texas. (Including Galveston or Houston.) But I also don’t think that Texas has any place as unsouthern as Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Even if you want to argue that El Paso is as unsouthern as Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area is a lot more populated than El Paso.

I would agree with this. I think this contributes to Florida's wackiness.

While this is true, many parts of East Texas feel Southern to me.
