I believe this is closer to reality. I forgot an east coast subgroup.
edit: It's called the mid atlantic and people are big mad about its exclusion on a shitty, crude map in context to a discussion about the Midwest. lmao

- Idaho should be in the Rockies and perhaps all of Utah.
  
  I'll concede Idaho. Utah is iffy.

- Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey are not New England. They’d disagree with that assessment, as would those from New England.
  
  Have they tried not being so crammed in there?
  My comment said "closer to reality".
  I never claimed to be the leading expert with possession of omnipotent peer reviewed literature and a Supreme Court ruling.
- West Virginia is not the south. West Virginia exists because they were so insistent on not being the south.
  
  The sheer number of confederate flags that fly in WV sure does make it feel southern.
  
  You'll also find a ton in Ohio and Pittsburgh and even Canada. At this point, the flag has very little to do with being southern.
- Mid Altlantic exists as well.
- Philadelphian here...swallowing my vomit after being grouped with new england
  
  Have some water.
  Nothing PA is midwestern. Nothing PA is New England. Nothing PA is The South.
  So, does PA get it's own, like TX?
  
  PA, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and maybe Maryland are considered the Mid Atlantic.
  They are not New England, but they are the Northeast.
- Maybe an east coast subgroup could contain ... OH I DON'T KNOW ... MAYBE NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, and most of PA????!!! mfrs are pedantic af over a finger drawn map.
