Dude before the 60s, Miami demographically was in line with the rest of the South. They did not have the same diverse white population as the Northeast did. New Yorkers treated their place as a vacation home. It doesn't mean you're Northeasteners. But Miami was still shaped by Southerners. Isn't there a confederate cemetery in Dade Co? Somebody forgot to alert my family and friends that they now live in what is more of a northeastern city than a southern city. Also, Bajan, it is clear that you know very little about the south if you think all Southerners are conservative and uneducated.
Where would this Cemetery be? Considering "Miami" didn't even exist during the Civil War.
Most South Floridians are not that rich, educated, or liberal. You know what the public education system is like in Florida? Miami-Dade public schools are a joke....give me a break. "liberal"? Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Cuban-Americans that elected the far right wing Marco Rubio to office.....give me a break lol....Florida is more than South Beach bro.
Maryland is more than just Washington, DC and Baltimore......
Barely. Houston is Gulf Coast Southern first and foremost, and all "Texanisms" come second, in my opinion. I'm sure you'll disagree, but I'm done debating with people who aren't even from here about the culture of my own hometown.
I feel like Tampa and Houston share a similar Gulf Coast undertone that triggers that association. A lot of the new construction also looks similar. Every other similarity is rather superficial. Houston is definitely Texan to the core.
Apparently this post was lost in the shuffle. Click on the links below for a VERY PARTIAL list (and pictures) of Confederate memorials in Florida. Please note that the pictures are of ones that are well to the south of the state.
It makes zero sense to argue against the Fact that Maryland is a Southern State.
The poster said if you are at least two hours driving time from New Jersey, you are not in the South. Most of Virginia and all of North Carolina is not 2 hours from New Jersey. So exactly what was your point in regards to that original comment?
