I live in northern Mexico, so my culture is heavily influenced by both American and Mexican culture of course!!! But if I ever visit the United States, specifically the southern states. Would I feel different in those states? Thank you.

You’d be fine. Keep in mind that within Texas and California there are pockets of very different cultures: Austin TX and Corpus Christi TX are not going to feel very similar despite both being “Texas”

Austin and Corpus Christi (and most cities of more than 200k people) are going to feel more similar to each other than small towns 30 miles away from any given city.

This is also true. More similar doesn't mean very similar, though (saying this for op)

What makes them so different?

What doesn't, everything is different. The people/culture, nature scenery, weather, things to do, typical architecture style, politics, et cetera.
