Lower South

The term Lower South (German: "Lower South") refers to the southern and southeastern part of the southern states of the United States .

The term, which is mainly used today in historical studies, is defined inconsistently. So it is partly broadly defined and completely equated with the "Deep South" (English Deep South : South Carolina , Georgia , Florida , Alabama , Mississippi , Louisiana and Texas ), partly narrowly defined and differentiated from the "Deep South".

The term z. B. by the American historian Ira Berlin , who only designates the area of the later states of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida as Lower South .
