Texa-anon here.
Texas is VERY German. Visited this museum in Germany last year. The old pictures, paintings and books showing Germans who were coming to America here looked just like Norman Rockwell paintings of America itself. As an American visiting all of Europe, Much of France seemed very familiar to me. But Germany felt more like home. Your mileage may vary, depending on whereabout you're from in the States.
