But for very different reasons historically and economically. There's a world of difference between south Georgia and the metro Atlanta core counties.

Do you think Atlanta is not in the deep south?

Not really. To me, the Piedmont is the line of demarcation between the Deep South and the Upper South.

I think of the deep south as Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Arkansas. It is as much of a cultural region as a geographic one. Culturally, you can't consider Florida to to be the deep south except for the panhandle even though it is geographically.

The states most consistently identified with the Deep South are Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Before this thread I've never seen anyone try to break it down by topography or any measure except political boundaries.

I have to disagree. If you ask me, all of Georgia is deep south outside of the mountains.

Then we can agree to disagree.

I have nothing against that.

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are the core of the Deep South. East Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, the Memphis MSA in Tennessee, Georgia, downstate South Carolina and the Florida Panhandle are on the peripheral and share a lot in common with the Deep South despite not being the core.

I consider the Appalachian region and the areas influenced by its culture, such as most of Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia as well as northwest South Carolina and western North Carolina to be separate from the Deep South.
