When I was living in Texas, I didn't hear either of the first two. It sure seemed like everyone used the third though.
Well "fixin to" became "finna" and entered African American dialect well beyond just Texas.
The Mason-Dixon Line specifically refers to the Maryland - Pennsylvania border as surveyed by Mister's Mason and Dixon to settle boundary claims.
1. Not all southerners supported secession in 1860/1861. Some still do however.
2. They still lost the war. 2b. They have a separate decoration day, apart from Memorial day.
3. It will be a lot warmer and depending on where you are less mosquito bites. Chiggers take their place.
4. Bourbon is better than Canadian Whiskey.
5. Your chance of injury due to ice, snow, shoveling the walk or going to a fight and having a hockey game break out have been reduced. Your chance of being the victim of a gunshot wound have increased. Unless your previous residence was in a hunting area of Canada.
6. A well bred southern gentleman will never directly ask your age. He may ask if you have any younger sisters.
7. Baltimore in the 19th and early 20th century was the largest city in the south.

They haven't moved beyond potty training in Texas, true story.

Someone hates Southerners.
Yeah, once in a while someone seeks to relieve that aching feeling of impotence by rating down entire threads, seemingly at random.

As said above, this is not limited to Texas. "Reach me that" is a new one to me, though.
Southern accents come in every flavor imaginable. People born and raised 10 miles apart will speak in a completely different way. They range from the traditional heavy deep country accent, to the generous coastal drawl, to the lilting southern town accents (the one I have; think Scarlett o'Hara), to the thick urban accents, to the unintelligible Cajun that's really not even English.
Places to visit now that you're here: Chick fil A for healthy food. Waffle House for unhealthy food (WaHo is best at 3AM when you're trying desperately to sober up. They do NOT have a "light" menu and will get offended if you ask.) Both restaurants were started in the Atlanta area, so if you live within driving distance, you can go to the original Dwarf House in Hapeville for Chick Fil A or the original Waffle House in Marietta.
