For what reason does walt whitman include "southerner as soon as northerner" as part of the speaker's identity in leaves of grass? his editors demanded that he talk about geography. whitman has a personal preference for the south over the north.

The correct answer would be B) Whitman has a personal preference for the South over the North.

Explanation:

Whitman identifies himself as “a Southerner soon as a Northerner”because he believed that the divisions in society are the result of different experiences rather than any other arguments that might fit the term. He was a humanist and a believer of human potential; he conceived diversity as a characteristic of the human self as individual in and onto the world. That reflexes that in accordance with his feelings and perceptions, all different points of view are result of interrelations between people beyond their social background. On that belief he stated that << Each of us is “one of the Nation of many nations, the smallest the same and the largest the same.” >>
