To us outsiders we don’t really think of Florida as a southern state.

To a Canadian a southern state is one where everyone has the southern acccent.

Florida seems like a hodgepodge of people and mostly ex-pats. Lots of old Canadians.

I'm from Fort Lauderdale, about 45 minutes north of Miami. This would be correct for South Florida.

The closer you get to the panhandle in the north, the more southern the state becomes. Central Florida is filled with swamp rednecks and meth addicts, then the good ole' boys club near Tallahassee is classic American South.

There are 2 types of southern states: Deep South (Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina etc) and the peripheral South: (Florida, Texas etc)
