Northern Kentucky was southern back in the day too. It's only recently that it's gotten northern. Past 40-50 years. Those northern Kentucky counties and river counties like Covington, etc actually had a high percentage of their men volunteer for the confederate army back in the 1860s. Same for NOVA. Only been within the last 50 years it's gotten northern with the growth of DC.

If you stick ~30 miles off the coasts, you can go all the way south to the glades.

The Glades and The Keys may be in the State of Florida but they are their own unique brand of people.

Some of these are partly Southern I'd say. Parts of Virginia are Southern, parts of Kentucky, a decent chunk of Florida. Hell, while a good chunk of Arkansas is Southern as can be, you can make a very strong argument that NW Arkansas is probably more Midwestern now.


Yeah state borders aren’t a good way to classify it.

This map is pretty decent



It has the south mapped out pretty well. Putting Texas in Greater Appalachia is kind of dumb though

North Florida is Southern
South Florida is Northern

East Texas is Southern
West Texas is Western

West Virgina is not Southern
Maryland / Virgina were Southern but have been over run by Yankees

UNC = Southern school in a Southern state
Dook = Yankee school in a Southern state

The rest are fairly Southern tho you have to separate Low Country / Hill Country / Deep South as defined sub cultures.



That's amazingly accurate !
