New geographies . ast and south of these states ? These states are not always groupedtogether as Southern States. SometimesKentucky is considered one states in-of the Central States, which eis the next group to be studied; andDelaware, Maryland, Virginia, and WestVirginia are often classed with NewYork, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, asthe Middle Atlantic States. Name thesixteen states of this Southern group. These sixteen states have more thanfive times the area of the NortheasternStates; and Texas alone. Area and pop-the largest state in the uiationUnion, is larger than the entire groupof Northeastern States. 1 Any division of the country into groups ofstates is unnatural, because state boundaries rarelyfollow natural lines. This present grouping isadopted in this first boot because it makes it possibleto study related industries more effectively. It is, asa matter of fact, more natural to include these statesin one group than to follow the usual grouping ofMiddle Atlantic States, TBE SOUTHERN STATES 121 The population of all the SouthernStates together is not much greaterthan that of the Northeastern fact suggests that the chief occupa-tions may be different from those inthe states already studied.
