| May 17, 2016 at 3:32 | comment | added | Sven Yargs | The Associated Press Stylebook agrees with Chicago, with the proviso that the term applies specifically to "the region that consists of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina." All of the states in question have no shared border with any state not a member of the Confederate States of America in the 1860s. I'm not sure why North Carolina doesn't qualify—perhaps because the latter has "North" in its name. Florida would be another obvious member, but evidently it has too many retirees from northern states to make the grade. | |
