I wonder if the feelings are the same if there's a poll on other states...Probably so.
I doubt it, I can't think of anything other states have to be proud of...
I doubt it as well.
Most people that live in other states when asked where they are from, are usually quick to identify an area,
for example, they will say.... "Northern California" or "Southern California" vs. California or "Upstate New York" vs. New York,
people from Michigan like to hold up their hand and point to where they live on the "Mitt".
Texans will usually just say 'Texas"
Internally we may bicker about locations
,
but especially when traveling outside of the state,
We tend to just say "Texas"
I have had people ask me why we do that vs. telling them what part of the state we are from.
All I can say is, that is just how we are.
Another thing that stands out if you travel through other states, is flag flying.
If a Texan has one flagpole at his house, chances are it has a Texas flag on it, if they have two flagpoles, they
may add the U.S. flag.
(However, I think the "Come and Take It" flag is more popular.)
I know at my house, for the 4th of July, we fly the 'Betsy Ross" flag.
When traveling in other states, it's much more common to see the U.S. Flag flying at someones house.
There are exceptions,
Example:
In Tenneessee and other Southern States, it's common to see the Confederate flag vs. the U.S. or state flag.
In fact, most other states you only see the state flag flying at .gov buildings.
