In US geography, "The South" means something very different to the southern half of the country. Likewise, "The Midwest" is concentrated entirely in the eastern half of the country. "The South" is really the south-east corner of the country.
Is it just confederate states? Well, eleven states seceded, and 22 senators implies eleven states, so probably. Not sure where Kentucky fits in.
