Are the States in the "Deep South" region of the United States really at a lower elevation than the northerm and western states? If so, can anyone recommend websites that show illustrated graphs and provide data and such about the United States in general? Thank you very much!

No, not really.
The term is a cultural and historical one, not geological.
While some of the area in question is coastal, and therefore of lower average elevation than inland, there are coastal areas in the North and West as well. And in fact, some of the areas in the deep south have quite high elevations.

This is not a geological or geographical feature.
When you get to Mississippi or Alabama and ask for directions, and you get this queer stare and a comment like "You ain't from around here, aryuh, boy?" Then you'll know you've reached the deep south.
