"Sergeant Farell, you're an American"
"No Sir, I'm from Kentucky"
What did he mean by this?
>>71307188
Have you ever been to kentucky?
>>71307188
Some Americans identify more with their home state than the union. Sort of like how some Europeans identify as "French" or "German" instead of European.
Prior to the Civil War, the U.S. were a relatively loose/weak union, and people tended to identify with their state rather than the union as a whole. This changed drastically in the latter half of the 19th Century, but some people still have a sense of state or regional pride.
>>71307188
It's a joke about how Burgers don't even know their own geography
>>71307285
No because i am not a faggot American.
>>71307329
Makes sense.
>>71307329
this, it varies from state to state I think
I live in Texas and it's quite common for people to consider themselves Texans first and Americans second

It's particularly strong in Texas because of your unique history. I think California has something similar going on.
that was a fun movie
>>71307329
Kentucky, Virginia, Vermont and Texas are the most guilty of this.
>>71307672
I'd put California up there as well, though not in the same defiant way as southern states.
>>71307672
Virginia here. This is true. Star and bars on every other house.
>>71307802
Californians definitely have a shit ton of state pride but it's not entirely the same. It's hard to explain.
>>71307188
He means he's an anti-American lowlife traitor
>>71307585
>>71308129
It seems to me that Texas' identity comes from all of the events that led to their statehood, whereas California's identity came into being after its admission into the Union.
Texas
>fought for independence from mexico, had a few years as a sovereign country
California
>served as a sort of "promised land" for western settlers, idea was "come out here and do what you want"
>>71307188
the great kekxit of 2017
>>71307856
Virginia here. Stars and Bars on one house in 10,000, in the mountains maybe 1-1000. Stars and Stripes on every other house.

You're lying to Yuros right now.
Kentucky was a Union state.
>>71309209
Where did I say otherwise?
>>71309318
Kentuckians are proud supporters of the Union of the United States of America.
They don't care about "regional pride." Fuck poop.
Texas forever
>>71309372
They are now, sure.
Prior to 1861, few people were, regardless of their state.
The character OP is referring to clearly cared about state pride.

Don't sing Star Spangled Banner at all. You don't deserve to.

Col. Sanders was actually raised in Indiana.
>>71309209
kentucky was a divided state. i had people in my family that fought on both sides.
>>71312779
Union state. If you had traitors in your shit bloodline I'm sorry. I'm sorry you didn't get executed like the traitorous scum you were.
I wish Sherman would have finished the job and executed every single last white southern slaveholding man and married your wives to nblack people.
You deserved it.
>>71312636
>Col. Sanders was actually raised in Indiana.
You don't have to be a Kentucky native to be honored as a Kentucky Colonel; you just have to make a significant contribution to the Commonwealth.
>>71312881

There's a reason Lincoln suspended habeus corpus in your backstabbing state.

States are pretty much countries. They have their own laws, their own economies, their own diplomatic relations with other actual countries, and even their own militaries.

I'm from the northwest and am for a strong federal government. Doesn't mean I ignore the technical system.
I'm also for a stronger EU and stronger UN. Borders are dumb, let's get rid of them.
>>71307329
To supplement to this, before the Civil War, the United States was referred to in the plural sense (ex. "These United States") in newspapers, books, etc
After the Civil War, it gradually became more common to refer to it in the singular form (The United States), correlating with an increase in Federal power at the expense of State power.
>>71307316
>Sort of like how some Europeans identify as "French" or "German" instead of European.
>some
More like all of them except for a tiny percentage of eurofederalists. Basically the exact opposite of the situation in the US.
>>71307188
People from Kentucky are... Odd.
There were a couple of pilots in the Kentucky air guard that would fly so close so they could try to kick or punch Iraqis on roofs.

Kentucky is a shit state objectively but I've always felt much more proud to be a Kentuckian than an American.
I don't really know why.

What's it like knowing that Louisville has more to do economically with Indiana than the rest of your "Commonwealth?"
t. Southern Indiana
>>71310963
Ever heard of duel sovereignty? When America was first founded we had a weaker central goverment than EU has now. Even after the constitution replaced the articles of confederation.
De juris. States are still sovereign nations but it's not
De facto not so mucn
>>71314922
Lol. Yeah. Nu-males eat meat and own guns.
I can't wait for the 2nd Civil War. I'm going to do what my great great great grandfather did and Sherman the shit out of you redneck sisterfucking shitbirds. I'm going to give all your women to niblack people and laugh.
Enjoy.
>>71316186
Feels like I don't give a shit about Louisville because it doesn't feel like a Kentucky city anyway.
>>71315844
not that bad its just boring here nothing to see. but yeah i feel you. i'm more proud of more kentucky heritage (bloodline traced to Buford)

>>71316311
Heroin, meth, illiteracy and abuse make it actively bad. Not to mention we've destroyed a fuckload of our natural landscape with mining and mountaintop removal.
It's definitely one of the prettiest states though. Every city has plenty of greenery (unless you're in faggot Louisville) and you can usually drive for about 10 minutes and be at a farm.
>>71316277
Enjoy your ramshackle tin huts, Cletus. Maybe you can go watch the Wildcats in that big ol city, Lexington.

Once again we have the population. We have the materiel. We have the manufacturing.
You're fucking toast. And this time, no mercy. Executions for the lot of you and we'll marry your women to the niblacks. Everything you lied about happening for 150 years--it's going to come true.

We'll at the least it'll be nice to kill yall almost 3:1 again.

I'm proud of our moonshining history. It's one of the more interesting aspects of American history of that period.
And I'd say we're known for bluegrass at least as much as mining and bluegrass is the shit.

Bluegrass IS the shit, but it's as much a Tennessee thing as it is a Kentucky thing.
Best part of that whole movie was my delicious waifu all sweaty in push-up position.
>>71317247
Eh that's debatable. People know Tennessee for honky tonk. Nobody that I've ever heard associates it with bluegrass.
If you're talking about the history I don't know as much as I should so you may be right, but I know bluegrass came out of Old-Time and Kentucky sure as shit had that in spades.

Lexington is for inbred Appalachian hillbilly scum who want to simulate being in a real city. Louisville is for civilized people.
>>71317448
Nucka, you tripping.
>>71317562
lol there's literally nothing to do in here and everyone i knew contemplated jumping from there. even me
>>71317563
I don't even want to touch on the implication that Louisville is civilized
southerners are unpatriotic dipshits who brand rebel flags and call northerners unpatriotic
>>71314023
that's not even remotely true. The states gave up all foreign relations to the federal government even before the Constitution, and stopped using individual currencies a few years later when the feds offered to buy up their debt if they they accepted the US dollar.
Nowadays, US federalism isn't that different from European or Canadian federalism. In fact you can argue that Quebec or Catalunya are closer to actual countries than any US state, both politically and culturally
>>71317624
Outside of the west end, it's definitely more civilized than Lexington.
>>71309585
>Kentucky
>the South
pick one
>>71317621
That must've been why Kokomo imploded their gas tower in the late 90's
>>71317686
I don't see how you can say it's less civilized just because it's rural.
The crime rate is lower and it's just generally a more peaceful place to be.
>>71317831
The crime rate is lower because you have rednecks and hillbillies "taking things into their own hands," so obviously that's not going to be in any reports. And as for it being more peaceful, it's one giant WASP facade. That whole town reeks of insincerity.
>>71318021
I will admit that Lexington people are generally hoighty-toighty fuckheads but everything else you said is pure conjecture and really isn't the culture of Lexington at all.
Regardless it's always felt like a nicer place to be than Louisville.

Never. All confederate states during civil war had to agree never to succeed from the union as per agreement during the reconstruction era to rejoin the union. Literally any state that tries to leave the union will have the hammer of god on their state for trying to leave. Most states in the US are die hard federalists. Very few states have a regional identity.

this but never in a way to mean you are no american
usually they tell you what state you are from when asked
I never met a man that was asked if he was american(tourist in many countries with friends and family) and answered "hurr im from new york not american"
this is why this scene was so fucking stupid it was like the opposite of superman telling that soldier "I'm from kansas" and leaving it at that without adding more to it
this scene got me to cringe hard
unless I want to be specific and this is outside the states of course and am asked if I am american I'll say yes , if asked further I tell them the state.

Supreme court ruled its unconstitutional for states to unilateraly secede in Texas v. White
Interesting aspect of that case to is the fact that the Southern states never officially seceded in the eyes of the government (or in the eyes of any nation that didn't recognize them, which was all of them), they were states of the Union under military occupation by a rebel/terrorist group, in similar vein to how ISIS controls parts of Syria and Iraq.
>we're so fucking sick of taking shit from you northerners we just want to leave
By shit do you mean the money that the North has to feed into the federal government to prop the Southern states up?
