Guess you've never been to the north western part of Florida eh? Can't get much more southern than that my friend. Always been known as LA.....Lower Alabama. I've never heard anyone from the panhandle refer to themselves as from LA. I have heard many people from the Dothan/Andalusia/Enterprise area say that, but they do actually live in the state of Alabama. My mother is from that area, Ashford, and she says she's from LA. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Because half of the state is Northerners or from overseas? Big cultural difference between N Florida and S Florida... It isn't even North and South. Okeechobee County has more cattle than people and the largest Cow / Calf operation (Larger than the King Ranch) is South of Orlando. In Martin, Saint Lucie and Indian River counties all you have to do is go west of I-95 to be in citrus and cattle country. The Ram Circuit Finals Rodeo will be in Osceola county starting in 2015 and this is the 2nd year that the PRCA Champions Challenge is at the Silver Spurs Arena there. there are six Indian reservations in Florida, most in the south. Other than Orlando the biggest cultural divide is coastal vs. inland. |

Pretty much the same thing with I95 until you get down towards NYC Miami. |

During the time of the Civil War (when the South was established), Florida was full of Seminoles. They didn't fight in the war and didn't secede since they were part of the Seminole nation.

"Following Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, Florida joined other Southern states in seceding from the Union. Secession took place January 10, 1861, and, after less than a month as an independent republic, Florida became one of the founding members of the Confederate States of America. As Florida was an important supply route for the Confederate Army,"
We also were one of the 1st states to go "Shall Issue" and some 38 states have followed using Florida as a model. |
