History

During the American Civil War, all of these states were members of the Confederate States of America, except for Oklahoma which was not yet a state.http://pbsvideodb.pbs.org/resources/civilwar/mapsandgraphs/map02.html Map of the eleven Confederate States. Accessed May 12, 2006.

Over the past few decades, the term 'southeast' in common use, especially for businesses and government agencies has become the preferred term over the South. Many citizens feel the term southeast is less offending to the former term which suggested slavery, civil rights, and even the southern nations in the global North-South divide.
