Says the yank. Listen, you can tier those cities into Totally yankee vs. Mildly southern, but all of them would be less southern than pretty much any other SEC country city, save perhaps Atlanta.

There are only four southern states:
Alabama
Georgia
Louisiana
Mississippi

The rest are just weird red necks.

Thank god.

There wouldn't even be a "South" like we know today without SC.

FIFY

The deep south:

Georgia-most all of it, except for about 6 counties in Atl area and perhaps the Appalachian counties-hillbilly cultural variation

Alabama-all of it

Mississippi-all of it, however there's a number of yankees and yankee influence on MS coast. Most people outside don't know this.

Louisiana-Monroe to Shreveport and Lafayette to the river, exclude southeastern and extreme southwestern La-subtle cultural dissimilarity

Texas- extreme east TX maybe. But slight cultural dissimilarities and not geographically deep south.

Arkansas-delta region only

Tennessee- little to none, defined as the mid-south and hillbilly country in the east.

Florida- used to include a large portion of the panhandle, now just rural areas mostly and west of Apalachicola.

South Carolina-geographically too far east, but culturally similar

The Deep South

E. TN fought for the Union, many East Tennesseans fled to Kentucky and we in fact accompanied Sherman on his March to the Sea. Today, the state as a whole is yankee migration central, including my hometown in the East.

West and Middle, TN are Deep South, imo. Their prevailing attitudes and history are different although they too have a lot of northern migrants.

We (E. TN and UT) are more border country. Southern food, southern accents, but very much not the deep south.

Arkansas is in no way Yankee

You are correct in that the biggest part of it isn't. However, the NW corner and North Central portion does have a different 'flavor'.

NWA Arkansas is completely different than the Delta/Grand Prairie (SE Arkansas)
