I dont mean geography wise, I mean culture, food, history and all of that.
I know Austin, the place that I live in is in the border but put what you think and why.

Each city and town seems to have it's own way of life. So, I guess both.

When cotton was king, Texas was where some of the southern planters, whose topsoil had been depleted of nutrients by farming cotton on it year after year, in the southeast, sought to expand. Cotton takes a lot out of the soil when it grows and is harvested, and it was not known that crop rotation from year to year could enable the land in GA, AL, MS etc., to rejuvenate; i.e. plant something different on it for a few years then go back to cotton. In 1861 when Fort Sumter in SC was fired upon by federal troops and as a result, SC seceded from the United States, Texas was one of the ten other states that followed SC's lead and joined the Confederate States of America. The C.S.A. was for four years a country which even had the support of some European countries for a short while, in its unsuccessful bid to win what we now call the American civil war. The "South" became synonymous to some with the "Confederacy." The civil war was "the North" against "the South." For these reasons, Texas is most definitely Southern in history and culture as well as in geography. However, Texas is very unique from all the other 49 states in that much earlier, from 1836 to 1845, it was an independent country -- the "Lone Star" state, a source of pride for Texans.

Mr. Jeremy:
Great question. Texas is a great place; in size and spirit. It is so wide and open it would be hard to label it one thing or another. That seems almost like stereotyping someone. Texas is influenced by many cultures. Congress Avenue to The Red River, The Big Bend to Sabine Pass, Galveston to Paris...its a big territory. THE GREAT REPUBLIC OF TEXAS...A Southern State in the Heart of America. Mike

As a Texan I would say Southern easy. Most great food in texas is tex-mex and bar-b-q that you dont find in places up north. Texas is also the only place in America (maybe pre- 9/11) that people would call themselve Texans before Americans.. :)

From all the western movies I have seen, I am sure it must be a Southern State.
