TipTow posted:The whole "this state is/isn't Southern" thing is going to come up, why not just go ahead and acknowledge the fact that the "South" as a cultural region in the U.S. doesn't line up neatly with our state borders? http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/which-states-are-in-the-south/ This is an interesting fivethirtyeight article that speaks to this point. A poll on what is or isn't the south. Different groups are polled; those who identify themselves as "southerners" and those who do not. quote:"First, the Southerners were considerably more certain of which states are their own. While the top few Midwest states barely pulled 80 percent of the vote, nearly 90 percent of respondents identified Georgia and Alabama as Southern, and more than 80 percent placed Mississippi and Louisiana in the South. South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida and North Carolina all garnered above 60 percent. Edit: I attempted to attach an image file, but apparently that's broken. There are nice graphical maps at the url.
