This subject is not only getting old it is getting sickening and tiresome. Some should go back to school and get some more education. They teach the correct info on this there.

If its north of the Ohio river it is ALWAY the north. I cant believe anyone could say that parts of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio could be part of the south. The home states of Lincoln, Grant and Sherman and someone says parts of this area is in the south. No, just no.
I wish people would just understand historical occurrences do not dictate geography. Landmass and a compass dictate what is Southern, Eastern, Western, etc.
You divided the other states but not Florida? I would at least say that North Florida is always included, Central Florida is sometimes included and South Florida is rarely included.

There are a lot of areas north of the Ohio that are actually heavily influenced by southern culture. The Ohio river is less of a dividing line between north and south as it is a "transitional zone" of sorts.
Florida is always included but Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia are sometimes or rarely included? You do know that the term "the south" isn't synonymous with Deep South, right?
Is eastern Nebraska Midwest, but south central Nebraska the plains, and western Nebraska the west coast?
The south ends in central texas. The deep south ends in east texas.
