Paladin D Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 It's a similar debate with [b]Delaware[/b]. It remained in the union, but it didn't become a free state till after the Civil War. Though since majority of the population lives in the northern part of the state (where it has more "Yankee" traits), and it's slightly higher up than Maryland (take out a map and you'll see), I declare it a Northern state. : Unfortunately, the U.S. Census bureau consideres Delaware and Maryland to be "South", but many other sources usually label them as Northern or border states. Now about Kentucky... I said "It is its own special place." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatcatholic Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I LOVE KENTUCKY!!! some people may not consider it southern as far as geographic location is concerned, but KY has always had a southern feel and embraced the southern lifestyle. KY is notorious for its rate of citizens who either remain in KY their whole life, or return to KY after moving away. its just nice here, and nothing else really compares to it. i consider myself a southerner, and i'm proud of it check out the state song: [b]My Old Kentucky Home [/b] [i]Words and Music by: Stephen C. Foster[/i] The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home 'Tis summer, the people are gay; The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom, While the birds make music all the day; The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, All merry, all happy, and bright, By'n by hard times comes a-knocking at the door, Then my old Kentucky home, good night! [i][u]Chorus[/u][/i]: [i]Weep no more, my lady, Oh weep no more today! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For the old Kentucky home far away. [/i] They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon, On meadow, the hill and the shore, They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by that old cabin door; The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, With sorrow where all was delight; The time has come when the people have to part, Then my old Kentucky home, good night! [i]Chorus[/i] The head must bow and the back will have to bend, Wherever the people may go; A few more days and the trouble all will end In the field where sugar-canes may grow; A few more days for to tote the weary load, No matter, 'twill never be light, A few more days till we totter on the road, Then my old Kentucky home, good night! [i]Chorus[/i] ummm............yea, KY is southern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morostheos Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 [quote name='toledo_jesus' date='Dec 8 2005, 11:19 AM']As a Virginian, I declare Kentucky to be Southern. As you well know, Virginia is at the pinnacle of Southern culture and society, and always has been. Therefore, our opinions count more in such matters. The only peers we have are those boys in Charleston and some in Georgia.

homeschoolmom Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 : [quote]Hail Minnesota Minnesota, hail to thee! Hail to thee, our state so dear, Thy light shall ever be A beacon bright and clear. Thy son and daughters true Will proclaim thee near and far, They shall guard thy fame and adore thy name; Thou shalt be their Northern Star. Like the stream that bends to sea, Like the pine that seeks the blue; Minnesota, still for thee Thy sons are strong and true. From the woods and waters fair; From the prairies waving far, At thy call they throng with their shout and song; Hailing thee their Northern Star.
