WHAT REGION IS VIRGINIA PART OF?


[+] ballot by Kentucky_Yankee
ACTIVE Sat Jun 10, 06 - Fri Jul 04, 08

Virginia, like Kentucky has been long disputed for which region it actually belongs to. Many say its Northern, and others say Southern. Quite a few Virginians, especially in the northern half or even the northern two-thirds of the state act and even to a degree, varying from person to person, sound kind of northern. It was well known for its strong institution of slavery however, and its large numbers of Confederate soldiers, though it probably didn't contribute as many Rebel soldiers as other states in the South did. Furthermore, Virginia actually formed Union regiments (from the Commonwealth, but not the area of what would become West Virginia). Most of the area around Virginia Beach, Norfolk and areas west of it are essentially Southern, but much of the state is like the North. Where do you believe it fits in?

It is part of the North.
The northern half is the Northeast; the southern half is the Southeast.
It is part of the South.
The northernmost and central third of the Commonwealth is the North.
SORRY, THIS POLL
IS NOW CLOSED.

I thought West Virginia broke off from the Commonwealth because of the Union/Rebel issue.

I would say south.

Lived there for eighteen years. *South*, no question. As for the psart that mojo lives in- the North needs to stage a campaign to reclaim it for the good of the local residents.

It was part of the upper south during the war, as opposed to the deep south. Other upper south states were North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas.
