Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and DC are historically and regionally Southern, and when organizations divide by the four traditional regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West) they usually include these four areas. Culturally the rural parts of Maryland and Delaware, and all of DC, are Southern. Politically the South traditionally means the eleven core Confederate states plus Kentucky and Oklahoma, I think we might also be able to include West Virginia nowadays. But politically Maryland, Delaware, and DC belong to the Mid-Atlantic or by wider groupings the Northeast, sonce the DC area, Baltimore, and Wilmington are basically Northeastern cities these days (they were more Southern much earlier this in the twentieth century).
