Kentucky is not midwestern at all. It is a Southern state of Southern people and Southern traditions, manners, and sentiments. It isn't in the midwest, and has no particular midwestern sensibilities or traditions.
You mean such midwestern sensibilities as being hard working and enterprising?

I'm going to assume that you are asking this in sincerity and answer you respectfully.
In the sense that all of the United States has this characteristic, then yes. In the particularly Midwestern sense of it, no. If you have ever gone to an actual Midwestern locale and lived there as a Kentucky transplant, you quickly learn the difference; however, it is difficult to quantify in a few short words.

Well I'd thought better of my flippant remark and was gonna delete it, now I reckon I'm stuck. I offer my apologies.
summed up kentucky isnt as southern as tennessee but isnt as midwestern as ohio. its kinda a transitional state its hard to explain its something you have to experience.
yah know what this really gets on my last nerve I was born and raisd in louisvill,ky in valley station and how in the world do you think kentucky is anything but southern and as for the acent people in the city dont have much or at all a southern draw as people in the country same as anywere els in the south but as for me I will wear my boots wear! my rebel flag shirts and belt buckel and be proud of who I am a "southerner".Oh and as for me my accent mine has never been mistakin for northern anywere i have gone down here.
By all offical means Kentucky is the south. The split is the Ohio River so no part of MO, IL, or IN are in the south they are the midwest. The weather channel is not always close when they do there stuff. But I work for an agency that when I lived in Kentucky had to do all official documents and Kentucky is a southern state.

Speak with some of the people that live in the Highlands, or Indian Hills.<wink>
I guess "Southern" is relative... even in Ky.
