Southern states of the US (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dixie

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">southern states of the us</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for dixie that I've seen before include "Name given to southern US states" , "Southern states of USA - and a rousing song" , "Seceding states" , "military vessel" , "Southern states that seceded from the USA in 1861" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
