Since when was Delaware considered part of the “South”?
Author: The Blonde Diaries / Category: GeneralYesterday I was working on my daily surveys over on Sunshine Rewards (see box to the left). One of the qualifying questions to a particular survey was asking what area of the country I lived in and the choices were Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. Pretty standard I guess except when I went looking for Texas. Texas was listed in the South but so were a few states I would have expected to see in the Northeast as noted in bold below:
KY, TN, MS, AL, FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, WV, DC, MD, DE, TX, OK, AR, LA
I have gotten over Virginia listed in the South and without a Southwest choice I can see Oklahoma in the South but I’m just not so sure about West Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and Delaware. It snows quite a bit up there. I tend to thing North = snows a bunch, South = no snow to very little snow.
What do you think? Where do you draw the line between North and South?

I don’t know what they were thinking. Delaware is definitely in the North.

To me, anything in the Northeast is New England and New York state.
I always thought Maryland was the beginning of the South, at least I think I paid attention in US History class!
