Georgia is a state in the southeastern United States.

It was established in 1733, the last of the original Thirteen Colonies.

Named after King George II of Great Britain, Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788.

It declared its secession from the Union on January 19, 1861, and was one of the original seven Confederate states.

It was the last state to be restored to the Union, on July 15, 1870.

Georgia is the 24th largest and the 8th most populous of the 50 United States.

From 2007 to 2008, 14 of Georgia's counties ranked among the nation's 100 fastest-growing, second only to Texas.

Georgia is known as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South.

Atlanta is the state's capital, its most populous city and has been named a global city.

The Carolinas are the U.S. states of North Carolina and South Carolina, considered collectively.

Combining North Carolina's population of 10,042,802 and South Carolina's of 4,896,146, the Carolinas have a population of 14,938,948 as of 2015.

If the Carolinas were a single state of the United States, it would be the fifth-most populous state, behind California, Texas, Florida, and New York.

The Carolinas were known as the Province of Carolina during America's early colonial period, from 1663 to 1710.

Prior to that, the land was considered part of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia, from 1609 to 1663.

The province, named Carolina to honor King Charles I of England, was divided into two colonies in 1729, although the actual date is the subject of debate.

Virginia (officially the Commonwealth of Virginia) is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, as well as in the historic Southeast.

Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" due to its status as the first colonial possession established in mainland British America, and "Mother of Presidents" because eight U.S. presidents were born there, more than any other state.

The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna.

The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city, and Fairfax County is the most populous political subdivision.

The Commonwealth's estimated population is over 8.3 million.

The Southern United States, commonly referred to as the American South, Dixie, or simply the South, is a region of the United States of America.

The South does not fully match the geographic south of the United States, but the Deep South is fully located in the southeastern corner.

Arizona and New Mexico, which are geographically in the southern part of the country, are rarely considered part, while West Virginia, which separated from Virginia in 1863, commonly is.

Some scholars have proposed definitions of the South that do not coincide neatly with state boundaries.

While the states of Delaware and Maryland, as well as the District of Columbia permitted slavery prior to the start of the Civil War, they remained with the Union.

Since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, they became more culturally, economically, and politically aligned with the industrial Northern states, and are often identified as part of the Mid-Atlantic and/or Northeast by many residents, businesses, public institutions, and private organizations.

However, the United States Census Bureau puts them in the South.
