Since the American Civil War, Southern Whites have long since identified with each other and have acted collectively on many issues. Would it be a stretch to call them a separate Ethnic group?

This question seems to pertain to modern people, and isn't so much about history. I have to take it down for that reason, but I would suggest reposting it to /r/AskAnthropology or /r/AskSocialScience. It would be a valid question in either of those subs.
