Which of these cities are culturally "Southern"?

I might be totally wrong (not an American), but my gut feeling led me to voting for Jacksonville, Louisville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Nashville, and Richmond. The Texan cities seem typically Texan, but not typically "Southern" to me.

Atlanta would be another interesting one, as would New Orleans.

What are the arguments for these cities not being Southern?

Between the Catholicism and the heavy French/creole/Caribbean influence, New Orleans isn't culturally southern. 

Seems logical. I always fail to understand the American subtleties regarding Christian denominations. (Which might be strange for someone coming from the country of pillarization, but I'm even having a hard time understanding what all Protestant denominations in my country are like.)
