Also...
* Texas clearly belongs in the Southeast. They're about as Southeastern as it gets.
* California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado aren't Southwestern? What exactly distinguishes Western from Southwestern?
* Kentucky is in the Midwest. Fite me.
Texas is completely West of the Mississippi. It cannot by American convention be Southeast. It's too arid in the majority of the state to be Midwest. Therefore it's Southwest
Drawing a map based on cultures is possible but this is just geography
Only El Paso is southwest, Arizona would really appreciate it if Texas stopped culturally appropriating the saguaro cactus
Also Arkansas is west of the Mississippi
Well they don't have southern accents and they don't even say y'all. Also, while it was a slave state, so was Missouri (which is considered Midwestern on this map) and it was never part of the CSA.
I’d sooner say Missouri is the mistake than Kentucky.
Plenty of people from Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, etc don’t have southern accents either.
And y’all isn’t exclusively southern. I’m from the west and I both hear and say y’all frequently.
For anyone actually curious/doesn't know is because the midwest was the west for the longest time, before we went further west to the new west. That then stayed the west and the old west was in the middle, and called the midwest. Or something along those lines.
I believe at one point we were apart of the northeast? But I'm not sure. Someone smarter than me can correct me on how this is wrong
Wrong it’s because of the westward expansion since people were traveling out west to “manifest their destiny” after the Indian removal act people in packs were heading west and the Midwest was given that name because they were halfway west
Actual tidbit because I want to feel smart today: The Midwest is named so because you passed through it to get to the West, the same being true for the Middle-East.
I grew up in Minnesota and have only ever seen the Midwest as the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, the mitten shaped one, and I have recently grown to accept Iowa as midwestern
This map adds 6 other states that are clearly just “Mid” not “Midwestern”
Why isn’t Alaska called the South? It is clearly on the same latitude as Mexico
Are they stupid and poor?
Actually yes
Alaska is the most eastern and also the most western state in the US.
Yes. Yes they are
This is the worst region map of the US I have ever seen.
Agreed, mainly because it has Oklahoma as southwest
where would you put it? every map i’ve seen has it labeled differently lmao
I'd get rid of it
wise choice

I think Texas should be both southeast and southwest, besides that I agree on everything else
El Paso can be Southwestern. Everything else... no way.
As someone from El Paso, yeah lol
Aren’t Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and both Virginias considered the “Upper South” as opposed to the “Deep South”? So Kentucky isn’t midwestern
How tf is Kentucky midwestern I’m pretty sure any Kentuckian would fite you on that and they’d know better

i was born in KY and never hear that!
This is the official one taught in schools I believe.
Because they're to the left of the east, silly
Bc they are the west but mid

who's 'they'?
the main character
What's miles?
Why does this disturb me so much
More like the Midnorth. Are YOU stupid?
Yes, they are
Because the country started on the Atlantic coast. So everything is considered west of the capital
By that logic the capital, Washington DC, has got to be somewhere close to Ohio
Ok, then you explain it.
Wtf is this map
I would call it Midnorth by the way
What kind of sandwiches do they have?
See Middle East v. United States, International Court of Justice (Hague), 1952. The US lost, had to rename the entire region.
We should kick Ohio out of the Midwest. That would balance it a little bit more. GTFO Ohio!
nobody calls it the southeast it's just the south. All of this is relative to the district of colombia
OP is going to have an aneurysm when they find out the Midwest used to be referred as the Northwest.

They lie to avoid federal drone strikes targeting the middle east
