Southern United States.

TheSouthern United States (commonly referred to as the American South, Dixie, Down South, or simply the South) constitutes a large distinctive region in the south-eastern and south-central United States.
Because of the region's unique cultural and historic heritage, including Native Americans, early European settlements of English, French, Scotch-Irish, Scottish, and German heritage, importation ofhundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans, growth of a large proportion of African Americans in the population, reliance on slave labour, and legacy of the Confederacy after the American Civil War, the South developed its own customs, literature, musical styles, and varied cuisines that have profoundly shaped traditional American culture.
