    Is the SEC still a “southern” conference?

    I’m just arguing my position. I think KY is a southern state. Same for Virginia and West Virginia. It’s not important to me, this is a discussion forum. We’re discussing.

    So because KY thought slavery was better protected in the union, rather a risky confederacy. It’s not southern? The south didn’t exist before 1861? Interesting. Eastern TN, you aren’t southern. Sorry, Adam.vol just laid it out.

    Some people just can’t grasp southern doenst mean confederate. It means confederate. It’s a political idea.

    Is the SEC still a “southern” conference?

    Considering KY has been southern since 1792 and the fact that plenty of people in southern ohio, indiana, and illinois. Have southern customs and accents. This is a blatantly false statement.

    Is the SEC still a “southern” conference?

    Southern Illinois and Indiana was heavily settled by Kentuckians. The central and northern parts. Were settled by German immigrants and new Englanders. During the war that area had tons of copperheads (northerners who supported the confederacy). A company of southern illinois men. Even joined up...

    It’s almost like, confederate doesn’t mean southern. Ask general Pemberton.

    Is the SEC still a “southern” conference?

    Not sure I agree that a 160 year old political decision is the “quintessential element of being southern”. Lots of officially seceded states, had people partial to the Union as well. Even Mississippi had 500 white union soldiers. But I guess every SEC state is on the confederate flag, minus...

    Kentucky is southern everywhere but the cincy burbs and Louisville. Not really comparable to those others, IMO. They’re majorly non-southern in culture. With a few southern pockets. Where Kentucky is majorly southern. With a few midwest pockets.

    Tennessee’s secession vote may have been rigged. I read in a book that the secessionists used armed guards, to influence the vote of middle Tennessee. The chapter was titled “the confederate state that never was” or something along those lines.

    Is the SEC still a “southern” conference?

    I had confederate family in KY and TN (grandfathers and uncles in the 6thKY CSA, 28thTN CSA, and 13thTN Cav CSA). It’s weird how people think states seceded because they felt “southern” or “northern”. It’s one of the dumbest myths about the war. It was a political decision. Based on slavery...

    Is the SEC still a “southern” conference?

    It’s not. Missouri goes all the way to the bottom of Iowa. Missouri is farther north than KY. But the boot heel is actually more southern geographically than KY.

    Is the SEC still a “southern” conference?

    Yeah I agree. The confederacy ≠ the south
