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