[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gotta say that to a Northerner, Richmond is pretty Southern. It was the capitol of the Confederacy, after all. [/quote]

Yeah, and considering Robert E. Lee's home was in Arlington and one of the main confederate forces was the Army of Northern Virginia, you're gonna have a hard time convincing this northerner that Northern Virginia isn't the South.  Hell, MD is below the Mason-Dixon Line, so I'm kinda suspicious of them.  VA's not even in the discussion.

As for all you squabbling over whether Texas, Kentucky, etc. are somehow different, from where we sit - you're all the South.  (Don't take it personally, we feel the same way about the great undifferentiated Midwest.)  Although I think it goes both ways - how often have I heard Southerners talk about the "Northeast" as if it's one big place, when it's obviously not.  I'm from NJ, and I think Mainers are a different species, while people from Vermont might as well be from a different planet.  [/quote]

I'm a Southerner who's been posting in this thread and I think most of us would say NJ was the northeast but Maine was New England. I definitely get that they're different. [/quote]

Sadly, most Southerners have to Google this kind of information.  Not that they would admit it, of course. [/quote]
