Georgia is now considered Upper South?
This thread is completely off the rails.
To me, the whole idea of presenting 'Upper' and 'Deep' South as a cultural delineator is bogus anyway. A more accurate one would be the Fall Line, which defines the transition between the Piedmont/Mountain South and the Coastal Plain South. The cultural differences between these two are far more profound.

Anyway, my last statement was with regard to using such divisions as markers of cultural differences. It simply doesn't work that way, and the mass confusion exhibited on this thread should be testament enough to that.

They are essentially the same thing, with overlapping influences found in several fall line and Piedmont cities.
Deep, Mid and Upper South are state designations, not barometers of a Southern city's native culture or the number of transplants it has acquired over time. Nor do they vary within a particular state or region. These throwaway statements like "Atlanta has too many Northerners to be a Deep South City" or "North Carolina has become a Mid-Atlantic state" are laughable.
Deep South = Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina
Mid South = Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina
Upper South = Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia
Thank you. Glad to have cleared up the confusion.
Wow, you nailed it! Congrats I don't know why this so hard for some people
