East Texas really isn't either. Only Dallas and Houston really fit that description.

North Carolina is no more New South than Georgia.New South.
Atlanta is larger than Charlotte,Research Triangle Combined CSA populations and area wide combined.
I think you have a misunderstanding of what New South is.

Why would South Carolina be more important Historically than Virginia or Georgia?VA was the first state to have settlers.

I think that speaks more to the history of the country itself(colonialism),not just the South. I think most people choose SC because it was the 1st to secede and is the state that really pushed the issue, where as Va joined in after SC was attacked.

Personally, I'd definitely give NC the edge.

Yes but Virginia has been around longer with a lot of history that predates the founding of the country.

An edge is different than exclusion. Everyone has there own opinion based on what they find positive progression.

In your post, you said that NC was no more "New South" than GA. In other words, you seemed to be suggesting they're equal. All I was saying is that I think the latter has an edge.

I think we're saying pretty much the same thing in that regard.
