- ojbyrne 4y agoThe capitol of the Confederacy was in Virginia, so I’d say it’s kinda in the South.
- rascul 4y agoVirginia is in the south.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoI'm pretty baffled why you seem to think Richmond VA, which was the capital of the Confederacy, is not the South.

- zimpenfish 4y agoBecause https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia has it halfway up the eastern seaboard and as a non-USAian, I couldn't tell you where the dividing line is with any certainty, hence the equivocation.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoJust a heads up, citizens of the USA are called "Americans". Yes, the continents are known as North and South America, but nobody is going to think you might be Canadian or Mexican if you say you're an American.
- whimsicalism 4y agoWhat is a USAian?
- fhsm 4y agoIs “no?” a suggestion that VA is not the south? As a modern concept it is: https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/maps-data/maps/reference/us_regdiv.pdf https://www2.census.gov/geo/pdfs/maps-data/maps/reference/us... As a historical concept it was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason%E2%80%93Dixon_line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason%E2%80%93Dixon_line
- zimpenfish 4y agoJust equivocation because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia isn't clear to me (a non-USAian) where it falls.
- claytongulick 4y agoThis can be very confusing without a background in US culture/history. For a better understanding it helps to familiarize yourself with the Mason-Dixon line [1] [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason%E2%80%93Dixon_line https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason%E2%80%93Dixon_line
- rascul 4y agoThat is understandable. Many people inside the USA either aren't completely aware of the divisions and/or have their own opinions. I'm not honestly sure if the divisions matter all that much in a general sense anyway.
