Yeah, this is exactly what I meant. It's definitely straddling both the North and the South. So much of the state and its culture are very un-South. You won't find its deep blue politics on a large scale anywhere else below the Mason-Dixon Line. The fact that it was founded explicitly as a Catholic colony puts it at odds with most of the rest of the South. This resonates even today.
