how is Texas not southern?
I'm from WV which is technically southern, though we seceded from VA because of the Civil War and wanting to be a member of the Union... so... I don't know about us. I wouldn't consider myself southern, but I know plenty of people in this state who would.
I'm not sure what I am trying to say.5 -

I get that.
I always used the Civil War as the definer, and if a state was part of the Confederacy, then, to me, it is considered southern. I can kind of see it as being "southwest" from a regional standpoint. but at the same time, it has south in the name.0 -

Being from Houston, I think of anywhere that it snows as 'the North.'3
