Answer:

the southern states are more old-timey than the northern states because of the fact that the south never was technologically advanced more than the north was, and that even goes back into the 1800's. the north was always more advanced than the south, even with the new ideas popping up in the south, it will take a while for them to be on top.

My definition/explanation:

In America we mostly consider the south eastern states to truly be the “southern states”, but what about Texas? Texas is very southern but Louisiana is much more “southern” in its culture and geography than Texas

But they’re right next to each other right?

And at what point does southern turn to south eastern? And southwestern? Is Texas the only true “southern” state?

I don’t think anyone will every agree on this so let’s keep it simple with a definition

“A southern state experiences warm and wet climate, goes no further west than the Mississippi River, no further north than the Ohio, and stops at the Chesapeake.”

Hope this helps
