48% here, too. Odd, for someone who has lived almost his whole life within 50 miles of NYC.

Hmmmmm:

52% (Dixie). Just above the Mason-Dixon Line

I'm a native Californian... but I guess you can say I'm a southerner, since I live in Southern California.

"82% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?"

Aw hell, watch out ya'll! Supposedly, I am related to Sam Houston. Although, he was pro-Union (or at least anti-slavery), I believe.

68% which it says is just under the Mason-Dixon Line. Pretty close, being that I live in KY.

78% Southern, but I had to cheat a little. There is no way on God's green earth I was gonna be a Yankee. Those are fightin words even coming from a computer program.

True. I feel rather confident that Houston was anti-Slavery. I don't really know how he felt about succession.
