Second, which side Texas fought on in the ACW has only a small bearing on the matter today. Look at Florida. I wouldn't classify it as part of the South, yet in the ACW it was very much so. And it is as far south as Texas.

This is a cultural/political question, not straightforward geography.
Good point. However, my Step-mom comes from Jacksonville and she swears that Florida is as 'South' today as it ever was.

So how far north do they eat chitlins?
