Original Note:
Although the original term "Yankee" referred specifically to Northeasterners, the term has become a synecdoche, or "pars pro toto," where a part of something is used to refer to the whole thing: e.g. referring to the Netherlands as "Holland" or the United Kingdom as "England.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pars_pro_toto#Demonyms_and_ethnic_groups
