American Southeast

The American Southeast, the southeastern states of the USA, usually consists of the following southern states:

• Louisiana
• Mississippi
• Alabama
• Georgia
• Florida

and sometimes:

• Arkansas
• Oklahoma
• Texas

These states are more often referred to as simply the South, although that term generally also includes North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky. All of these states, with the exception of Oklahoma (which was not a state at the time) and Kentucky, were members of the Confederate States of America.
