*The percentages are just an estimate
Because Ohio is right next to Northern Kentucky, it makes that section mostly yankee. Ohio is one of the most yankee states I know and I've talked to people who've said the nothern part is mostly mid-western/nothern culture. Thats not to say there is'nt any southern culture in that section, but not as much as the deep south. Virginia lately as been urbanized with notherners which has decreased its southern culture. W. Virginia fought for the North and its surrounded by yankee states on both sides. But the southern part is a bit southern because of kentucky and Virginia. The southern part of Missouri is next to Tennesse and Arkansas and the nothern part is up their with Illinois and Iowa. And southen missouri has sweet tea and waffle houses. |

I have always put Kentucky,Virginia, W. Virginia, Missouri, as the border states and they each have a different degree of southern culture and northern culture. Its kind of like "dead's man zone". For the guy who thought Ohio was southern, really needs to get his head checked. I didn't even know what "pop" was until last year. Accents dont always mean southern or northern. There's a strong App. accent that runs through Ken.,GA,NC,TN,Vir.,W.Vir.,Pen., and a little bit of ohio. But the folks in Ohio, Pen., W. Vir. might say there hicks, but not southern. hicks/poor people/rednecks live in every state and even most places in the world.

And if you look back around pg. 9 or 10 of this thread you will see the US Census Ancestry map, which shows a clear division between Ohio/PA, and KY/WV. The Ohio River is still the division between North and South. (Hey, Missymom! ) |
