it’s ridiculous to argue with folks who for some modern political reason (a reason we are so effed up right now with political correctness)...to have to argue over whether a state founded by Southerners which fought in the Civil War and has monuments on many courthouse steps same as all over Dixie is not after all Southern.
as General Anthony C. McAuliffe said in ‘44....”nuts”
it’s this PC attitude which all too often is directed at us that is exactly what is wrong with the GOP and cripples it’s effectiveness with Islam, race issues, immigration etc.

Here's some other reasons
1. Texas is below the Mason Dixon line
2. Texas fought with the Confederacy
3. Texans have a chivalrous manner of respect and honor
4. Texans are fiercely independent
5. Texas is agricultural (#1 state in cotton, beef, cattle, hay)
6. Texans have a Southern accent or similar Southern dialect
7. Texas has cities, monuments, universities, and other cultural markers named for Southern/Confederate leaders.
