Canada is an accidental byproduct of the American Rebellion. It really doesn't make much sense. Dixie is more of a real country. So we sacrificed 600,000 young men to keep it. Mexico is completely alien, of course, which explains why we are melding with it. It's a wacky world.
To someone who has rarely traveled South might find Atlanta and Charlotte "just alike",but they are very far apart socially,economically,and geographically.They are very far apart.Just as Ottawa is to Montreal.
They aren't "just alike" (Atlanta is in a higher tier than Charlotte), but they're also not "very far apart," either, especially geographically. It takes me about 3½ hours to get to Atlanta from Charlotte; that's not "very far apart" at all.

And the US is an accidental byproduct of the British colonisation of North America.
Hmmm, my feller is a truck driver and I went on the road with him a bit. I have been all over these states, and even though things aren't exactly the same, I never felt like I was that far from home. Even when we went to Seattle, WA. That was the furtherest I ever been from home.
Well considering I went to Quebec.......................Lol, I think it was a bit more foreign feeling to me then the South was . We have a few french named towns, rivers, etc in Missouri, but I'm afraid thats as close to french as we get!

I'm a native Georgian from metro Atlanta, and I don't feel as though I'm in another world in most locations of the U.S. Parts of South Florida, South Texas, and parts of the L.A. area apply, but not much more. This has much to do with the different cultural/ethnic demographic of the area.

We went to Goulds, Fl... wasn't too keen on it. Went to a suburb of San Diego... or at least I think it was... I didn't like California...
As a real Westerner (as opposed to say, someone transplanted from the East, or, raised to think like an Easterner) I'd say the South is the part of the US most like the West. Of course, I say this with the bias of a Southwesterner, I realize that the Pac NW and Nothern Tier are a lot more "Yankee" than we are down here. During the CW, California, where I am from, was technically a border state based on both sentiment and the particulars of admission to the Union.

Parts of southern California, particularly the inland areas, tend to have a lot of people that are closer to "southerners" than "northerners" in lifestyle, beliefs, and culture.
