"Today the division is no longer between slave and free states, or agrarian and industrial states, but between two models of industrial society — the Northern model, based on adequate public service funding and taxation and unionization, [also known as "bankrupt & failed"] and the Southern model, based on low-tax, low-service government and low-wage, non-unionized, [also known as "profitable & successful"] easily exploited labor . . .

Well, you need to start by taking the reconstruction money from the Zero Bandits and building reservoirs throughout the South. The whole region needs a water distribution system for the industrial base. It is amazing how Atlanta and northern Florida could run out of drinking water.
Much of the problem during the drought at Lake Lanier, the main source north of ATL, is the EPA / Army Corps of Engineers insisting on the release of trillions of gallons of water downstream to keep some endangered species of mussel happy down in Florida.
I'd imagine the creation of new reservoirs here will get mired down by the time and expense of endless impact studies and lawsuits. Additionally, the drought has subsided quite a bit, so the impetus is gone (for now).
Looks like Good Ole Dixie is waking up!!
