Your figure is right, but it needs an asterik:
Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia, raised in the Confederacy, and concidered himself a Southerner, despite running from New Jersey.
Yes, but I was talking about home states, not birth states. He had his political base in New Jersey, where he lived for a quite long time. I can't see Governor Wilson of Virginia going to the White House.
By this definition you can also include states like Kentucky, Delaware or even Maryland. I'm focusing on the former Confederacy.
Which is an analytical mistake, the cultural South is a wider region and more relevant.
Ranking of "Southerness" for the border states.
1. Missouri
2. Kentucky
3. Oklahoma
4. Maryland
5. Delaware
What makes you think Wilson couldnt have won based in Virginia? He was perceived as a Southerner during the campaign. Being from NJ didnt change that.
