Hmmm what are the distinct cultures that make up Medieval America
1. Dixie/Southerner : This has been covered under the Commonwealth of Mississippi and Georgia entries
7. Yankee: Not covered (might need separate entries for Midwesterner, Lake Landers, Hillbilly, Midatlantic? and New Englander)
I would definitely say if we split up "Yankee" AKA what seems to be Northerner into different sub-categories we must do the same for Southerner. Dixie for Deep South lowlands from South Carolina-to-Louisiana; Ozark for southern Indiana-to-Missouri and Arkansas; Hillbilly/Appalachian for West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and mountain Maryland-to-Alabama, and Chesapeaker/-ian for lowland Maryland-to-North Carolina. Meanwhile Northerner can be New England (including Capital Area and Adirondack NY), Mid-Atlantic (NYC metro to Delaware and PA east of Appalachians), Lakelander (Great Lakes watershed), and Midwestern/Ohio Valley (Midwest from NY/PA-to-Illinois not in the Lakelander area, above the Ohio River, and not including southern Indiana/Illinois).
I can see both Northerner/Yankee and Southerner/Southron having potential to become Han Chinese-style super-ethnicities in the future, maybe even the present-day ethnographers notice it, but it's far in the future to becoming that officially .
