The only part of Florida that remains culturally Southern is the Panhandle and the peninsula well above Gainesville.
I beg to differ. Your statement may be true of the coastal areas, but with the exception of the Disney area resorts, not true of the inland areas. Not at all true. Sure, there are a lot of Cuban truck drivers passing through, but that doesn't change the culture of the area. The area where I live (70% Ag) is full of native cowboys and farmers and plenty of what you would call rednecks.
Also, my uncle used to fight dogs in Fayetteville N.C. as far back as the 30s, 40s and into the 50s. Yes, it is a southern cultural thing, but one I have had no part in. Today I would have to say it's more a Southern African-American cultural thing.
