Dixie o Dixieland es el sobrenombre con el que se conoce de forma global a los estados sureños de EE.UU., en especial a los once estados que formaron los Estados Confederados de América durante la Guerra Civil: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Carolina del Norte, Carolina del Sur, Tennessee, Texas y Virginia. También se usa como un adjetivo para describir características de los estados sureños y de sus habitantes, así como el jazz que surgió en ellos. Se supone que el nombre Dixie proviene de Louisiana, donde los billetes de diez dólares llevaban impreso en el anverso la palabra francesa dix. Para otros la palabra proviene de la línea simbólica Mason-Dixon, que separa el norte del sur.See:* * *['dɪksi]mass noun (colloq) (AmE) los estados del sur en EEUU
