Is Texas a Southern or a Northern state?

Question

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.

Answer 1

South

Answer 2

Texas is quite unique and hard to describe. Food wise, I would say Southern.

The German's (on spits) and Hispanic's (in a hole in the ground) methods of cooking meats were fused to invent barbeque.

Fritos came out of Dallas.

Black eyed peas were once used only for cow feed.

Okay, NOW I'm hungry... :)

Answer 3

Texas is a southern state. It was part of the confederacy. Culturally, Houston is very southern, less so as you move west -- where it becomes part of the West -- neither Northern or Southern.

Austin, however, is not, really, a Texan city.

Answer 4

Texas is in a class all its own. I think it is the only state that thinks of itself as its own country. Now saying that I feel that most Texas folks have southern roots.

Answer 5

Yeah, Texans are pretty swift in many ways; even used to be a blue state before the repugnants stole the vote (just like they did in New York). Pretty smart but didn't see that coming and probably still don't.

Answer 6

Southern...
Very odd question as the answer is so obvious...
Texas was a confederate state in the Civil War...

Answer 7

Texas is Southern! But, most importantly, it's just Texas!

Answer 8

Honey . EVERYTHING down here in Texas is southern. We cook southern food, talk with a southern slang, and work with cattle and horses when we can. Texas is a very southern state. I just love it. That's why I will never move out of Texas again. Historically , REMEMBER THE ALAMO?

Here is an email that I got that you might get a kick out of. Im proud to be a Texan

When you're from Texas, people that you meet ask you questions
like....

"Do you have any cows?" It's nice to be able to say yes.

They ask you, "Do you have horses?" Yup

Bet you got a bunch of guns, eh? Of course.

They all want to know if you've been to Southfork. They
watched "Dallas".

Have you ever looked at a map of the world? Heck, yes you have.

Look at the state of Texas just for a second.

That picture, with the Panhandle and the Gulf Coast, and the Red
River and the Rio Grande is as much a part of you as anything ever
will be. As soon as anyone anywhere in the world looks at it, they
know what it is. It's TEXAS.

Pick any kid off the street in Japan and draw him a picture of
Texas in the dirt, and he'll know what it is.

What happens if I show you a picture of any other state? You'll
get it sooner or later, but who else in the world would? Even if
you do, does it ever stir any feelings in you?

In every man, woman and child on this little rock the Good Lord
put us on, there is somewhere in them a person who wishes just
once he could be a real live Texan and get up on a horse or ride
in pickup or dance at a dancehall.

Did you ever hear anyone in a bar say, "Wow....so you're from
Kansas. Cool. Tell me about it."?

There is some bit of Texas in everyone. Do you know why? Because
Texas is Texas.

Texas is the Alamo.

Texas is 183 men standing in a church, facing thousands of Mexican
nationals, fighting for freedom, who had the chance to walk out
and save themselves, but stayed.

We send our kids to schools named William B. Travis and Bowie and
do you know why?

Because those men saw a line in the sand and they decided to be
heroes.

John Wayne paid to do the movie himself. That is Texas.

Texas is Sam Houston capturing Santa Anna at San Jacinto.

Texas is Juneteenth and Texas Independence Day.

Texas is huge forests of Piney Woods like the Davy Crocket
National Forest.

Texas is breathtaking mountains in Big Bend.

Texas is shiny skyscrapers in Houston and Dallas.

Texas is the uniqueness of Austin.

Texas is a world record bass from places like Lake Fork.

Texas is the best colleges around. From Houston to Lubbock and
everywhere in between.

Texas is Mexican food like nowhere in the world, even Mexico.

Texas is larger-than-life legends like Willie Nelson and Buddy
Holly, Earl Campbell and Nolan Ryan, Denton Cooley and Michael
DeBakey, Lyndon Johnson and George Bush.

Texas is great companies like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer and
Compaq.

Texas is huge herds of cattle and miles of crops. Texas is skies
blackened with doves and fields full of deer.

Texas is the best Barbecue anywhere. Period.

Texas is the nicest people you'll ever meet. Anywhere. Not to
mention, the prettiest girls.

Texas is a place where cities shut down for the Cowboys on Monday
Night Football and the streets are deserted during church.

Texas is the best music, with the best musicians in the world.

Texas is beaches, deserts, lakes and rivers, mountains and
prairies.

If it isn't in Texas, you don't need it.

No one does anything bigger or better.

By federal law Texas is the only state in the U.S. that can fly
its flag at the same height as the U.S. Flag. Think about that for
a second.

You fly the Stars and Stripes at 20 feet in Maryland, or
California, or Maine, and your state flag, whatever it is, flies
at 17.

We fly the Stars and Stripes in front of Pine Tree High in
Longview at 20 feet, and the Lone Star flies at 20 feet. Do you
know why? Our capitol is the only one in the country that is
taller than the capitol building in D.C.

We signed that and the flag height in as part of the deal when we
came on. The best part is right there....when we came on, Texas
was its own country. The Republic of Texas.
