North East? South? Midwest? Something else?

Not even, they fought for the Union!

Still Southern.

Kentucky is definitely considered to be Southern these days, though.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Kentuckians don't consider themselves that way. Geologically and economically they have little in common with the South.

That wasn’t my experience there, but okay. It is situated in a unique location that’s sort of Midwest, east coast and southern at the same time.

I looked up discussions about this and found this one. Opinions vary from “absolutely yes” to “sort of” to “definitely not”, so it’s up to you.
