Don’t lump all the states in one basket. The South, if an independent country which by all rights they should be, would be a solidly conservative country. Thanks Lincoln. Sic semper tyrannis.
Now WA lawmakers are thinking of forcing queer marriage on that state
Just said in a couple of threads before this.
The south and the midwest are totally different countries compared to the west coast and the north east and yet we get told what should accept into their liberal agenda and they move down here telling us how it should be because that is how it is up there.
Lets face it if the west and the north east went on their merry way then I would lose no sleep over it but we know that in 20 years their new liberal utopia of illegals and queers would be ruined and the liberals then would be wanting to move back down here after screwing their new country up.
NEWT will rise again in the SOUTH, if the nation is 40% Conservative why are we having this difficulty in unifying them to support the obviously strongest candidate the Conservatives or Republicans have to offer??
Didn't chattel slavery (i.e. every descendant of a slave is also a slave) mean that slave owners had an incentive to breed their slaves like cattle? Without Lincoln, the CSA could have become a super-sized Jamaica. Even today, after huge migrations northward, blacks are a bigger presence in the south, percentage-wise, than outside of it. Every state in the CSA is on the list of top 20 states with the largest black populations. Between abolishing slavery and arranging for deportation to Liberia, Lincoln was extremely conscious of the need to limit the size of the black population. Slave-owners in the south were oblivious to it. Lincoln did not merely save the Union - he saved the south from a terminally self-destructive policy.
The only reason the south is solid GOP territory despite large black minorities is this - black block-voting for the Democrats is countered by white block-voting for the GOP. The problem is that blacks are far more race-conscious than whites, and continue to have higher birth rates. The historically misguided policy of importing large numbers of black slaves could eventually lead to the south becoming even bluer than the blue states, considering that of the top 10 states with the highest % of blacks, 8 were CSA states.
