That map is interesting. I could have sworn they offered biscuits here in NY at one point. Maybe as a promotion that didn't catch?
Hi Cookie, I don't know how McDonald's came up with their map, but the local Tudor's Biscuits is one of the most popular restaurant chains in WV, so I think McDonald's offered biscuits there to compete with Tudor's. I think there's a Tudor's in Weirton.
I always thought if the states fought for the Union then they are North and Confederacy, South. Would the Mason Dixon line also be a divide. Texas would unique, South, South,

History was never that tidy. Most people would say that Kentucky is southern state, but it was officially a part of the Union during the Civil War. Most people would say that Missouri is a northern state, but some parts of it actually fought for the Confederacy. Both states were claimed by Union and the Confederacy during the Civil War. There have been many, many arguments on these boards about where to draw the modern day boundaries between the North and the South.
I did see a great series called Frontiersmen, I think on National Geo ,which showed the great Daniel Boone exploring the Kentucky wilderness, that nailed it as a southern state. I have always thought Kentucky with its Derby, same as British racing Derby, had a British Isles feel as with much of the South plus copious tea drinking ( as Britain and Ireland) Ohio though even as a Brit would be clear Northern . There is a blurred border by the look of it

Southern States were more apt to embrace The British system from their History ex. A Lord Founded Maryland and Georgia while most of the North were various religious refugees from England (kinda Maryland too)

True! Likewise, arguably the Dutch ultimately had more influence over PA, NY and Jersey than the English soon afterward.
Even after the limeys renamed New Amsterdam. haha
