The Southern States are the states that seceded from th Union in 1861 to form the Confederate States of America these are

-Virginia

-North Carolina

-South Carolina

-Tennessee

-Georgia

-Alabama

-Louisiana

-Texas

-Mississppi

Arkansas

-Florida

Other states that are sometimes considered Southern are

-Kentucky

-West Virginia **

-Missouri

-Oklahoma

Kentucky and MIssouri were considered part of the Confederacy by th South and had seats in the Confederate Congress and had stars on the confederate flag. That's why the flag has 13 stars although only 11 states officially left the union.

** interesting to note that the Panhandle of West Virginia is further north than the southern border of Pennsylvania. The city of Weirton WV is actually further north than Pittsburgh, PA.
