Don't get me wrong, I don't really care and I do recognize the historical facts. It's just that I more or less think of the south in a geographical state of mind. IMHO it all 'feels' the same, from Lake Erie to Atlanta. To me, for what it's worth, the south 'feels' like kudzu and spanish moss, cajun, creole and seminole, gators and sawgrass, etc., etc.
I remember always thinking it was bizarre for our teachers in Ohio to be telling us that Ohio was a midwestern state. I suppose if one was to think of the Allegheny and Rocky mountains as the dividing lines... I always figured the Mississippi River and the Rockies as the defining features. My reasoning is that things are pretty much the same on both sides of the Alleghenys, whereas things start changing on the west side of the river.
