That's why I specifically said I would remove it from the otherwise good list CincyExpert put together in my earlier post.
I disagree. The “traditional south” has always included North Carolina and usually Tennessee as well. If your opinion is that those states are not in the traditional south- then that’s your opinion only.
Saying Charlotte is not considered a traditional southern or “Deep South” city is baloney imo. No offense.
I agree the "Traditional South" would encompass a broader region.
However, this thread is about the "Deep South," not the "Traditional South."
The OP, in defining “Deep South” listed North Carolina and Tennessee as states being in the traditional south or “Deep South”, which they are. Your opinion is different, but doesn’t mean it’s correct either.
I wouldn’t group Texas as a Deep South state either. Most don’t. And I certainly wouldn’t group the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex as a “Deep South” city either. Most wouldn’t. But you do.
Again, you have your opinion. The OP’s beginning perspective on the “Deep South” city tiers should be honored here. He included North Carolina and Tennessee as “Deep South” (which I agree with btw).

Just sayin’.
Tennessee and North Carolina are not Deep South states. Only portions of them are recognized in the region.
Tennessee and North Carolina are not Deep South states. Only portions of them are recognized in the region.
And if we want to talk about the OP's definition, they really went too far with including Oklahoma, Missouri and Virginia as part of the deep south. With exception to Virginia, most people don't even consider these southern states (let alone deep south).

I acknowledge in my post that including the Texas metros was debatable. An argument can be made either way.
Tennessee and North Carolina are not Deep South states. Only portions of them are recognized in the region.
Again, that point can be argued until the cows come home (and has been, ad nauseam, on City Data).
The OP included both North Carolina and Tennessee as “Deep South” for his city tier thread. And that should be honored imo. Regardless of your opinion that NC or Tennessee are “Deep South” or not.

And I agree with you there. There is nothing Deep South about Oklahoma imo. Missouri? Their tiny Bootheel region only. Virginia? Maybe the area south of Charlottesville. But in any case, it’ll be interesting to read what twists this thread will take, lol.
