BECAUSE FLORIDA IS MADE UP OF PEOPLE FROM THE NORTH AND IT'S LIKE A HOLDING STATE FOR THE OLDER PEOPLE WHO RETIRE THERE

Florida's odd, because the population there is made up of mostly people from other states. The further North you go in Florida, the further South you are in terms of culture.

Most of Southeast Florida is made up of people from NY, NJ, MA, or PA. Most of the Tampa area is people from IN, IL, MI. Except for North Florida, its more northern than southern.

Cause the farther south in Florida you go the less rednecks you see. I'm from North Florida.

I think because some 75 to 80 % of the people who are there are from somewhere North.

Because most everyone in Florida is from New York, Ohio or Michigan. And we don't say "y'all".

Not sure - but it probably has something to do with the Civil War.
