Louisville and Kentucky are Southern.
Kentucky is officailly defined by the U.S. CENSUS BURERU as a southern state. Also the majority of Kentucky was occupied by the Confederacy.
There is no way anyone can group Kentucky with Minnesota over Alabama culturally Kentucky has way!! more in common with the South. Also if you compare Kentucky with Indiana and Ohio to Tennessee and Viriginia Kentucky is like Tennessee's and Virginia's twin.
Louisville is also a Southern city with a little midwestern culture.
Some people get the term Midwestern and River city confused. The definition of a midwestern city is Minneanpolis (not St. Louis or Cincy which have southern influence which is why they are the only cities in the midwest that Louisville has alittle in common with). Then when you look at it like that Louisville has alot more in common with river cities like Memphis and New Orleans than STL and Cincy.
But the only midwestern influences that Louisville has is White Castles (midwestern stable) grippos, and a sizable Catholic population (The vast majority of Louisvillians are southern baptist, Kentucky has the third largest "Southern Baptist" population in the Nation) Yes Louisville was a major Industrial area ahundred years ago, But not b/c some people say we're midwestern, But b/c we were a major shipping port. Memphis, and New Orleans were also major southern shipping ports that had industry, But that doesn't make tham midwestern. Also Birmingham was a major industrial center for the South that isn't located on a river. That's the reason all those industrial cities I just list (ncluding midwestern cities) are declining in their cities. Then think about L&N (Louisville& Nashville) it isn't L&C (Louisville and chicago) that goes to show you unlike midwestern cities that closed all trade with the South Louisville kept it's ties with the South.
Plus if you take Louisville's culture and compare it with Minneanpolis (a hardcore midwestern city) and New Orleans (a hardcore southern city). Or compare Louisville to Nashville (a Southern city with close proximity to Louisville ) and to Indianapolis(a midwestern city with close proximity to Louisville) Louisville undoubtibly has 3x more in common with New Orleans and Nashville, And yall know that.
