The only state by pre ‘61 borders in the top half of incomes in America in the south is Texas.

That’s it. Northerner’s don’t get it but it has taken 150 years for the South, even in Texas - to catch up with the average of all the states let alone the average of the north. There’s a reason for that.

Florida, of course, which north of Orlando is southern. One thing we owe Lyndon Johnson is that he shed us Southerners of that gorilla on the back, racial segregation. The true White man’s burden. The Yankees refused to allow freed slaves to immigrate to the north until the early 20th century. Then because of the early incarnation of LBJ, the bowl weevil. No accident that Indiana and Oregon, two progressive states, were hotbeds of the KKK.
