>Is the Dixon cultural line still a thing? How different are individual states as far as culture and mentality goes?

No. The north south line goes further south every year as a natural result of modernization and changing views of history and values. While people in border states would previously be able to claim a shared history or at the very least a passing interest in the south/confederacy, nowadays that view is becoming more and more taboo, and even unacceptable to some people and some places. It's why previous border states, like Maryland, Kentucky, or Kentucky are now foundational liberal strongholds, and if you were to ask young people of these states which 'side' they belonged on, the overwhelming majority would tell you that they at the very least felt spiritually, if not actually 'northerners', simply because their so ashamed of their past or so ignorant of it.

Even stated like Virginia, the literal birthplace of the confederacy is so solidly blue now that I wouldn't be surprised if in 50 years they start calling themselves northerners too, just to spite the south and it's confederate history.

As for how far the culture and mentality goes, it doesn't go far, thanks to the rise in globalization/the internet/discord/twitch streamers and all that shit. Regional accents have all but dissappeared in the US; the millennials and zoomoids in the US all have the same, 'standard' American accent. No more southern drawl, no more new york tones, none of that. The only exception is no whites, who've taken it in an opposite direction to spite whites and American culture, for instance Latinos in NYC using exaggerated NY accents when their own parents were born here and didn't sound like that.

>. Born and raised in the north, then moved to the south a few years ago. The people are more or less the same, there's not much 'culture' to go around, and the young people especially have the exact same accent, culture, worldview, mindset ect
