I had to look it up because I would have called it New England but apparently, although it is one of the original 13, it’s not technically ‘new england’. Here in Missouri, I’d say many of us would call that New England. One of all them yankee states up in thar.
Thank you! This is the exact thought process us uneducated rednecks down here in Florida go through. Y'all up'n New England are any persons north of the Carolinas, far as I'm concerned.
