Point of View
When Americans refer to the different regions of their country, they might classify the states differently, depending on the purpose. All these classifications are arbitrary, of course. The East, for example, can mean all the states east of the Mississippi River, or just the states on the Atlantic coast, or even just the northeastern states, depending on who is making the reference, and for what purpose.
