How to configure Free Shipping in 48 US States but Not Free Shipping Outside US?

I'm kind of shocked because many websites have Free Shipping to the lower 48 continental states but charge for shipping outside that area. Yet, I can't find a single post or plugin or fuction to be able to do this. Any idea how I can? I need ASAP!

This can be done by setting up shipping zones:

Re: How to configure Free Shipping in 48 US States but Not Free Shipping Outside US?

Thanks but I want to ship to the lower 48 US States only, not to all US. When I copied and pasted someone's sql patch who had those 48 states I got 2 errors that the statements were incorrect.

Also, if I did do as this thread says, would it show the FREE SHIPPING graphic on the store and item description if the freeshiper or free shipping module is disabled but the zones are configured for free ship? If not, how would the customer know it has free shippig it it doesn;t show up telling them it has free ship?
