Northern United States

The Northern United States is a large geographic region of the United States of America. Although the region includes a considerable portion of what is often called the American Midwest, most Americans refer to the region as simply "The North". Given its large size, the Northern United States includes a wide variety of socioeconomic, religious, ethnic, and cultural differences in its people. Indeed, unlike other American regions such as the South or Midwest, which have historically featured distinct characteristics and whose residents usually see themselves as part of a distinct region, the North's lack of such unifying features has led some to question whether the "North" even exists as a self-conscious section of the nation.
