Reply to comment by KaBar2 in 1946 Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary menu for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner by GoodMornEveGoodNight
I don’t think it was only southern states. As you can see here it was also in California. Dinner was the largest meal of the day, usually served at lunchtime. Supper was a lighter evening meal.
I think rural people had largest meal at noon. City people had largest meal after getting home from work.
So as people become more urbanized dinner became synonymous with the evening meal.
