The South is a distinct regional area in the United States that carries a wide variety of denotations. Specifically, it consists of the upper and deeper south. The arrangement goes something like this: Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. In short, it is characterized and remembered by its infamous history and position in the Civil War. The South will continously be stereotyped for being the epitomy of drunk hicks and rednecks dancing around a campfire having an overt weeny roast. Nevertheless, The South is an extremely viable region of the United States in terms of economic contributions and retains an irrefutably strong sense of pride.
Don't judge me because of my Southern drawl. The perception you're seeing is that I'm stupid. The reality is that I'm from The South.

1. A direction, usually seen pointing downward on a compass.

2. A fairly large region of the United States. It consists of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and the southern half of Virginia. Sometimes Florida is considered part of the South. Kentucky and Missouri are NOT the South. Because of some Southern cultural and social connections, these two states are often considered Southern, but they are Midwestern states.
1. Okay, so to get from Indianapolis to Louisville, you'll have to go south.

2. Missouri and Kentucky are not the South because they had large numbers of Irish and German immigrants, they didn't have strong institutions of slavery, and a lot of the people don't even sound Southern; they have neutral-sounding North or South Midland accents. Only the southernmost third of Kentucky and the southernmost parts of Missouri have truly "southern-sounding" people. Plus most of their economic ties are with their fellow Northern states around them, lots of people in Kentucky are descended from Pennsylvanians who came to Kentucky when it was the frontier in the late 1700s, and the overwhelming majority of both Kentuckians and Missourians fought for the North during the Civil War.
