Ok, this reply is word for word from Mr. Catnapper, aka, another know-it-all history teacher!

He says: South Carolina is the true heart of the south. Texas is a country all its own. Its not South, not west, not Mexican, its Texas. (Hubby's mom was a Texan. That was her theory! )

Hubby says: All jokes aside, Texas is considered part of the midwest according to hubby's 6th grade Geography book. He'll look it up to be certain. He does think some geography books will list it as southern state, depending on whether you do 4 or 3 regions.

Gotta love thsoe history teacher that think they know everything!
