Southeast Atlantic cities. Raleigh might be considered Mid-Atlantic? Example of this foolishness. Columbia. SC is about as deep South as you can get, so when you travel 80-90 miles north on 1-77 you are in the upper South, Bullsheet.

North Carolina is Southeast, South Atlantic, and Upper South. All three make sense. However, since we're discussing Deep vs Upper South, North Carolina is Upper South as a whole.
Columbia, SC is a Deep South city, no doubt about it. However, if we're talking about cities that are about as Deep South as you can get, give me Savannah, Charleston, Montgomery, and Jackson over Columbia any day.
As someone who moved from Columbia to Charlotte.. I can tell you the difference between the two is night and day. Columbia is FAR more "deep south" than Charlotte. Charlotte doesnt even feel like the south. (I am originally from NY)

Charlotte still feels pretty darn southern to me, possibly because I know the culture and history. However, compared to Columbia, I guess I could see your point. Driving from Columbia to Charlotte would be the same as driving from Birmingham, Alabama to Atlanta.

I don't think the difference between the two are *that* drastic in terms of how Southern they feel, but Charlotte certainly feels like the South to me (I'm a former Charlottean and native SC'er); you really couldn't mistake it for anything BUT a Southern city, especially if you consider the metro area as a whole.
