I defined the Southeast as the southern states in the east coast. All the other states you mentioned are in the interior of the country and there geographically not "east"
Okay forget about the Appalachia/Midwest/Deep South etc. regions,
If there was only Northeast/Southeast and Northwest/Southwest in what region are Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia?

If there was only two types of food, vegetables and beef...what would a Gummy Bear be?

What you're asking is waaay oversimplifying this entire country, but whatever I'll make you happy and give you the answer you want.'of the country was to be divided into quarters..I'd call anything east of the Mississippi River east and anything south of Baltimore metro area the south. Culturally that would the most accurate.

So all those places would be the south east except for Arkansas which would be south west.

So you're saying that Mississippi and Louisiana border the Midwest? Arkansas state is next to Mississippi and Louisiana. Part of the state of Arkansas is in the Mississippi Delta.

If they were only 4 regions, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee would be in the Southeast, while Kentucky and West Virginia would be in the Northeast. Southern parts of Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia might be Southeastern in culture, but I am using geographical regions and not splitting states into 2 regions, so therefore, those 3 states belong in the Northeast.

Virginia and Kentucky are not Northeastern states. Not now, not ever. Period.

Missouri is in the Midwest.

The OP is a troll and this is the second or third time he/she has created a thread like this. Even a 6 grader knows the difference between the North East and Midwest.

Not entirely, considering West Virginia is half-Northern-half-Southern.
