moving WV so it makes clear it is the only state entirely in Appalachia
'''Appalachia''' is a region of the eastern [[United States]] containing portions of the states of [[Mississippi]], [[Alabama]], [[Georgia]], [[Tennessee]], [[South Carolina]], [[North Carolina]], [[Virginia]], [[Kentucky]], all of [[West Virginia]], [[Ohio]], [[Maryland]], [[Pennsylvania]], and [[New York]]. Over 20 million people live in the region, which is one of the poorest in the country despite huge [[coal]] reserves. [[POTUS|President]] [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] attempted to relieve poverty in the area as part of his "[[War on Poverty]]", but was far from successful.
