Which region are the states Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida part of?

• A. The South
• B. The Northeast
• C. The Midwest
• D. The West

Answer: (A)

Understanding regional divisions helps place states by geography and culture. Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida sit in the southern portion of the United States and are typically grouped as The South in standard regional schemes. The Northeast lies to the east-northeast, the Midwest in the central-northern area, and the West covers the western states. Since the listed states are all in the southern part of the country, The South is the best fit.
