Southern states of USA (5)
I believe the answer is:
dixie
'southern states of usa' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dixie that I've seen before include "Confederate US states" , "Large pot used by soldiers" , "Southern states of USA - and a rousing song" , "Army cooking pot - the southern states of the USA" , "American League?" .)
