Last time I went through Indy, I stopped at a BWW in Brownsburg (?) and got sweet tea. I dont know that its a marker of southern anymore.You can get Sweet Tea in restaurants in Kentucky.
That's Southern.
Next question.

I totally agree and couldn’t have said it better.Well since I'm from BG I always say we are Southern Men. Anything north of Etown is Yankee. That's including any of you Louisville guys whether yal like it or not. It's a sharp cutoff kinda like the Western KY parkway or near it.
Which was totally false. The gateway to the south was an hour south from there where a sign advertised used cows for sale along I65. Still does as a matter of fact. Therm’s some old cows by now.Back in the day when you crossed the Ohio into Louisville there was a huge sign that said, "Gateway to the South"!

I’m in Warren County, I married a girl from Tompkinsville. What’s your last name, if you don’t mind me asking?Wife is from Lafayette in Christian County and I'm from Tompkinsville in Monroe County. If you watched the SEC network and saw the episode on True South you know what I'm talking about. Ain't no yankee's in this household.

Very well said sir.Ky is really kind of unique in its geographical, social and cultural makeup.
Those who beat their chests that it's a southern state aren't completely wrong but they aren't completely right either. Depends on where you live.
Louisville and Northern Ky are definitely much more midwestern.
The mountain areas of eastern Kentucky are more "Appalachian" than southern.
Border counties near Tennessee are definitely more southern.
The President of the Confederacy was born in Ky.... But so was the President of the United States.
Kentucky is a fantastic mix of many cultures that make our country and state great. It's a Commonwealth.
Not really. Confederacy took a bunch of two and low-three stars and took the ‘85 Bears to the brink. It was definitely a four-quarter game. A late interception by George Pickett cost the South the game. Don’t be fooled by the final score. Sherman just decided to punch a final touchdown in.I'd say a mix of both.
Not sure what being southern or northern has to do with a war 160 years ago at this point though. It should be based on the culture and vibe and has little to do with the long ago war.
And to the people trying to pump up KY as a confederate state because of some reject shadow government not sure that is something to brag about. Confederacy was obliterated so I'd try to claim north if you are into that crap.
Oh don’t doubt it didn’t mean to imply that lol. But Louisville isn’t southern, far from it.I have the pic and it is on a building in Louisville. I don't know how to post pictures but if you Google it showes the image. L G&E
Probably made more sense for Kentucky due to trade with the northern states. At that time there was very little industry in the South, some textiles and ironworks, but not much, so most manufactured goods had to come from either the north stste or England, and as KY was not a coastal state, as all of the Deep South states were, trade with England would be quite expensive.Kentucky sent 100k to fight for Lincoln and Grant. 40k at most to Davis and Lee. Most of the state was pro-union.
I have lived in the south and while KY has elements of it, it isn’t the same either.Not sure where this midwest stuff for kentucky has come from. I'm assuming its people my age (early 20s) who don't like the south and are trying to distance Kentucky from it due to shame.
Kentucky is below the ohio river
The center star on the confederate flag is for Kentucky
Kentucky was once part of Virginia
Civil war recruiting ads in Kentucky all point to the state being apart of the south
Kentucky's civil war governor told Lincoln he would not send any troops to Lincoln for the purpose of ''subduing its sister southern states.''
I've had people from Alabama call people from TN, NC, and VA ''yankees.'' Deep southerners aren't really the ones to ask about southern states. To them the south is 5 states. AL, MS, LA, SC, GA.
P.S. all my ancestral family is from GA, TN, NC, and VA.
Sure thing broI have lived in the south and while KY has elements of it, it isn’t the same either.
EKY is southern….as is western NC and VA. Sure it’s Appalachian but the northern part of the Appalachian chain region isn’t anything like the Georgia/Tennessee/NC/VA sections from a cultural aspect of surrounding populaceKy is really kind of unique in its geographical, social and cultural makeup.

Where’d you grow up? All of my family is from Scottsville/Allen County. My mom was raised way out in Rough Hill.When I was in high school in the 80's, there was an interesting article in the Courier Journal titled "Is Kentucky Southern?". It looked at lots of factors. The conclusion, was that KY is both Southern and Mid-Western. That the dividing line splits Kentucky, most of it (sq. miles) being Southern, but the majority (population) being Mid-Western. The industrial river cities (Louisville, Florence, Owensboro) are Mid-Western. I believe Lexington was barely on the Southern side.
I grew up in South-Central KY (south of Bowling Green), definitely a Southern region. Even our TV and radio stations mostly came from Nashville. Where as my (ex)-wife came from North-Eastern KY, which was more Mid-Western even though in Appalachia. For example they say "pop" instead of "coke".
Same for Lake Cumberland. There's a dirty "ring" around the lake, after they leave on Sunday, that shows up every Monday morning. Some refer to them as Buckeyes ... I've always thought of them as "Buckups".Yeah, I’m in Cumberland County next to you. We have yankee visitors due to dale hollow lake pretty much year round. Most here could do without. They leave a stink.
Plus we are one state removed from the Canadian border!And the beginning of the North. If you travel from Michigan to Florida and once you enter into Kentucky it's more sunnier and it feels like you stepping into a new region or the South. But if you travel North from Florida to Michigan and you enter into Kentucky it feels like you are closer to the North and the feel of Midwest is in the air.
The loser just keeps losing like losers always do. You're fired....Again.

Probably voted for Biden.I have never understood this conversation. The war is over. The secessionists lost. We are one country again.
Yeah Ohio people are the same way. Luckily they're not very good fighters. I used to whoop up on them Ohio kids all the time. every time they said something about my accent they got a fist. Between 1st and 6th grade before I left and came back to Kentucky I was suspended six times for fighting. Lol. Every damn time it was my accent.
Don't let it slide ever. Stick em in the mouth.
