'Let the South have it': Internet debates over Missouri as map proposing division of US into four regions goes viral
WASHINTON, DC: A Reddit user's post has set off a storm on social media. This user posted an imaginative map of the United States, splitting it into four quirky divisions.
Needless to say, the post sparked a fiery debate among social media users, igniting opinions across the digital landscape.
Reddit user posts hypothetical map dividing US into four
According to the Daily Mail, an assumed map proposing a reimagining of the United States into four distinct regions has set off a fiery debate. The map, posted by a Reddit user, comes with a bold question, "Can we agree that without splitting states, this is the best way to divide the USA into four?"
However, as the Daily Mail notes, the image has since been taken down by subreddit moderators, adding to the intrigue surrounding its contents.
Despite its removal, the post gained rapid momentum on the platform, amassing a whopping 4,600 comments and counting. Users jumped into the conversation, eagerly discussing the pros and cons of segmenting the country into Northeast, Midwest, West, and South territories.
Internet users say Missouri should be given to South
Most of the users on Reddit began to debate about the displacement on the state of Missouri in the hypothetical map.
A user wrote, "I feel like Missouri was only given to the south here to generate interaction and comments. Missouri is definitely Midwest, and classified by the government as Midwest."
Another user wrote, "The south considers it Midwest and the Midwest considers it South. As a Midwesterner I'd say let the South have it"
A user commented, "I’d put Missouri in the Midwest rather than the South"
Another user commented, "Missouri should be midwest, but other then that i agree. Though i don’t think it’s advisable to divide the US into 4, it’s better to do so into 5 or more."
A user stated, "Missouri is an interesting case. Historically it was a Southern state, Midwestern migration post Civil War didn't assimilate and overall changed Missouri's then Southern identity into more Midwestern. Southern Missouri however still stayed Southern and is culturally part of the South to this day."
