::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)

:::Most people think of the parallel that divides Virginia-North Corolina and Tennesse-Kentucky. which stretches from the Atlantic to the Mississippi as the Mason-Dixon Line, probably as a result of the Compromise of 1819 that admitted Missouri, first state west of the Mississippi, to the Union. I was surprised to read in WP the original Mason-Dixon (from which we get 'Dixie') included Delaware and was drawn before the Revolution.
