::The map is the South as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Delaware and Maryland are historically Southern states (they were also slave states). However, after the Civil War, they lost their Southern culture. For whatever reason, that is still how the Census Bureau defines them.
::As for Arizona and New Mexico, that is an easy question. They are not considered Southern states because they don't have Southern culture. They are Western, or Southwestern, states by culture. This article refers to the cultural region, rather than the literal geographical southern third of the nation (that's why West Virginia is considered a Southern state). --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 23:38, 13 April 2017 (EDT)
