In Bram Stoker's Dracula, one of the character speaks highly of Texas and its inclusion to the Union. Given that the novel is set in late 19th Century Europe, what place does Texas hold in the popular culture, or collective consciousness, at that time?
The quote itself comes from Renfield, a committed insane man, talking to Quincey, a Texan: "[Texas] reception into the Union was a precedent which may have far-reaching effects hereafter, when the Pole and the Tropics may hold allegiance to the Stars and Stripes."
I just find it odd they speak of it as momentous and influential over fifty years after the fact.

There is a claim on Texas Monthly that the Western cultural aspect of Texas (Cowboys, Mavericks, Rangers) was not the essence of Texas and it’s culture, before 1936, Texas was very similar to other Deep Southern states, and Western culture was an attempt to redefine Texas, far from the Confederacy?
Is there truth to this claim?

People who would eat here would also act like Texas is a monolith and Austin is its only redeeming factor as if the aspects of culture it shares with the rest of the state isn't a big part of the reason Austin is so great in the first place

Residents of the Southern states or Texas, how would you like a cultural exchange with Lancashire?
Given that a lot of English emigrants moved there in the 1800s, it makes some sense. Also, Lancashire people are fairly kind, similar to the Southern hospitality concept, and some areas are fairly rural like South Ribble or Burnley.
