As opposed to Deep South. States within the confines of the American South, that border closer to the Northern states, but have strong Southern qualities . Such states as Virginia, Kentucky, parts of Southern Maryland and West Virginia as well. Virginia is a prime example, as it was part of the Confederacy, and parts are heavy in Southern culture, yet borders on Maryland and Washington, DC.
They talk with such a strong southern drawl, yet they are only from Up South in Richmond, Virginia.
