North Carolina had a lot of cotton. It had less than most Southern states but much more than Virginia by 1860. Virginia had virtually no cotton production by 1860.
It is interesting to see how most of SC, AL and MS with the exception of the coasts were dominated by cotton and now many on this thread are noting similarities in the non-coastal regions of SC, AL, and MS along with Northern LA today.
No. Louisiana has a lot of Cajun influence but I'd still say its deep south. But again I'm not going to say Mississippi or Alabama is backwards. I've been on vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama and went to Mobile and Birmingham and have visited Mississippi several times, its not backwards but it is the deep south.
The SE Texas coast, Louisiana coast, as well as Mississippi and Alabama should be lumped together. I would much rather that be Louisiana than the current state. We could probably get more accomplished. The northern parts of the states in question are culturally opposites than the southern.

Practically every state has those divides but some manage to work it out more than others.
You can't lump SE Texas, Louisiana Coast, the Mississippi and Alabama gulf coast and forget Florida's gulf coast.
Culturally, it seems that the Gulf Coast region from Mobile to Galveston has more in common. Are there any French or Creole influences along Florida's Gulf Coast?

There's some but not as much as what you will get from Mobile to Galveston. You have some creole cottages as far east as Destin, Florida and bayous are also in the panhandle of Florida.
