      Kentucky was not a union state, it was more mixed if anything. Just because they were part of the CSA doesn’t mean they are "southern" now. Though North Carolina definitely still has a huge southern culture, and deserved to be ranked on here. Though Virginia does still have some southern culture, it as not as much as the other states that are considered southern.

      If your state was in the confederacy your southern, Robert e lee is from Virginia and he’s southern. Not everything is about “culture” if your from the south, you grew up with this culture, and nobody talks about the northern culture, only about southern culture and classifying people in states like florida, Virginia and I’ve even seen North Carolina be called a northern state, just because you don’t think it is , doesn’t meet it’s not because look up states in the confederacy and the American south and FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, NORTH CAROLINA, are apart of the south, all the people saying states are not southern are toxic people from the Deep South trying to make themselves seem better because they have to much time on there hands.

    7. Some of those aggregated things you see that looks like a bunch of junk put together should not be considered as a pejorative. Most rural southerners know basic carpentry, plumbing, electricity, horticulture, mechanics, and other useful skills for which city people pay someone $200-$300 to do and may have to use some vacation time to be at the house for the repair. Rural people just stop by Home Depot, spend $15-$20 for parts and fix it when they get home from work. Remember KillDozer? I’d put it up against many of our tanks from WWII any day. A lot of southerners go into Engineering and so did I. When we had laboratory classes where practical tasks (not solving some Calculus-based problem in a textbook) had to be performed, I could just wire up the circuit quickly, run my experiments, write my report, and turn it in while many of the city students still hadn’t completed constructing the circuit. As a R&D engineer, I thrive because I can create my own test fixtures in simple ways but still sufficiently accurate for the purpose.
    8. We have racetracks in the south because we like tinkering with cars. Just like with home repairs, instead of taking a car to a shop and spending maybe thousands, we’ll troubleshoot, isolate the problem, and then go to Autozone or - if the part isn’t available at retail auto stores - go order the part from the dealership or online and then fix it ourselves, all while grumbling about the lack of space in the engine compartment or where the engineer decided to place the part within the engine compartment.
    9. In the south where the population is growing and available land is scarce, often young adults who want to get out of their parents’ house will buy a trailer and put it on a section of their parents’ land. This is cheaper than renting an apartment, you can sneak all your friends over for a party after your parents fall asleep, and when you’ve saved up enough to cover the down payment on a house, you can either find an existing house for sale or (this happens a lot in the south) you can buy a lot from your parents (most will just give you some of their land as long as you promise not to sell it to anyone else) and build your own house. It’s less expensive and you choose your style. Of course there are many people who just remain in trailers so they can spend their money elsewhere and in the moderate climate of the south, trailers are comfortable until a tornado or hurricane comes along and disassembles it for you. The south doesn’t typically have cheap, old, empty houses like you see for blocks and blocks in Detroit or Cleveland. Plus, if you were rude to a bad person, you can put wheels on a trailer and make a run for it. 😉
