Pretty accurate spin off

You did a good job.

Where is phan this thread is dying on the vine with all your compliments.

My only questions:
Should Northern LA be included? Isn't it really rednecky and Southern Baptist?
Should New Orleans be included? It's obviously an integral part of southern culture, but arguably is a culture unto itself.
Ditto for low country SC.

The 17 page thread on the topic wasn't good enough to host your ms paint and thoughts on what constitutes the proper definition of an ill-conceived, misdescriptive geographic area?

You think Nashville and Memphis are deep south?

I always considered New Orleans and the Low Country of SC/GA to be their own little subsets of the Deep South but still Deep South overall.
I could definitely we persuaded that middle Louisiana is the Deep South.

Given the examples in the last thread it seems this map is more fitting to your argument:

Nashville has grown kind of like Atlanta, so as of today probably not, but historically yes.
Memphis is the damned definition of the Deep South.

East Arkansas Delta is definitely DS. So is Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
I'd say the deep south begins just east of the Clinton Library in Little Rock.

Looks accurate to me. East, TN is definitely not the Deep South. Nashville and Memphis are culturally Deep South but also have Upper South tendencies - they are what I'd consider a mish mash of the two.
If you kept the state together I'd say we were the Upper South. But it's also fair to divide us - we are called the Three States of Tennessee for a reason.

Yep, agree. Embarrassing or not I always considered the Deep South to be the area where the plantations and slaves were (as the term was originally used in defining the original 7 confederate states, though I generally really define it as the Cotton Belt).

Then why isn't Virginia/North Carolina in your circled area?

But how come not south Louisiana? Geologically is more southern then the entire area you traced.

I consider north LA to be the Deep South. Like the areas you outlined, Zaxby's and abject poverty are found in abundance

Yea, I knew part of Eastern Arkansas was but wasn't sure exactly what that ended and the more Ozarkian area began.

Shelby County in Tennessee is deep South. Maybe some border counties in West and Middle Tennessee, but other than that Tennessee is not Deep South.

Because it is by definition Cajun and not Deep Southern. Low rates of African Americans. Different culture.
