>>13652228No one gives a fuck about the census. If you’re going by the Mason-Dixon Line Delaware was cut out of it on purpose despite being physically below it. The truth of the matter is that Maryland has always been a disgusting buffer zone of Roman Popery and Delaware is a fief of Du Pont and the Credit Card companies, its Cayman Island North. OP’s map isn’t going by the line or by the Confederacy hence West Virginia. it’s going by the common sense idea of Dixie which is why Florida is greyed out along with Maryland but West Virginia isn’t. There’s no concrete way to prove this it’s a state of mind and a shared culture. Even this isn’t perfect, there’s parts of the big bend of Florida that are undeniably Southern and parts of Louisiana that are so foreign they mine as well be on Mars compared to what people think of when they think the South.
West Virginetty, Mississipetty and Arkansetty are the correct answers.
