    I never said NO, Birmingham, or Atlanta weren’t Southern. Jacksonville is absolutely East Coast. Yes the area to it’s west is Southern. But the coastal cities have a shared culture right up through Baltimore. After which it’s pretty much North East culture. Sometimes it’s referred to as South East but that belies the culture between the coastal cities and the Appalachians.

      I think you need to draw a map of what you consider to be the South, because it doesn’t agree with literally any definition I have ever heard or any map I have ever seen.

      I have never, ever heard anyone say Florida, which was literally in the Confederacy is not part of the South.

      And now you’re actually trying to claim that parts of Georgia aren’t in the south. You are sounding nuts. I hope you realize that.

      Seriously. One map. I can find plenty that say you’re 100% wrong.

      I admit I can find maps that don’t include Kentucky. I have yet to see one that doesn’t include the parts of the Appalachians that are in Georgia.

      Even the U.S. government doesn’t agree with you.

        You’re the one that wanted to drill down. I was open about the general cultural regions.

          So no maps? Because I think I’ve brought evidence. You have yet to do so.

            Your own evidence invalidates your entire premise that Indiana is The South.

              I think you forgot what I said. This is what I said:

              As someone who has spent many years in both South-Central and West-Central Indiana… What? We’re the South in all but name.

              This literally means it is not the South.

              You have turned this around to say that almost every part of the South is only the South in name because almost none of them past your purity test.

                So you are but you are not.

                These are conflicting statements. You either are, or are not. And Indiana is nowhere near the south. Even including Kentucky is debated. What you are is rural Mid-West.

                  No, I’m not but I’m not.

                  I’m not talking about geography. I’m not sure why that hasn’t been clear to you this entire time.

                    I didn’t think you were.
