'''The South''' is a collection of eleven states in the southeastern [[United States]]: [[South Carolina]], [[Mississippi]], [[Florida]], [[Alabama]], [[Georgia]], [[Louisiana]], [[Texas]], [[Virginia]], [[Arkansas]], [[Tennessee]], [[North Carolina]], [[Missouri]], and [[Kentucky]].{{fact}}
Although these states once fought against the [[United States]] in the [[Civil War]], today they are known for their patriotism and commitment to morality in government. The South consists of [[red state]]s and is one of the strongholds of the [[Republican]] party and the [[Ku Klux Klan]].
Virtually all modern music, including [[jazz]], [[rap]], [[rock and roll]], and [[country and western]] styles, originated in the South.{{fact}}
Virtually all property acquired by the United States was at the urging of the South.{{fact}}
The South has always volunteered and served in the Armed Forces in disproportionately high numbers.{{fact}}
Compared to the rest of the United States, the South lags far behind in education. This is reflected in low reading and test scores{{fact}}.
