Yep. Speaking of the Solid South, here are the percentages of the vote for Roosevelt (essentially all white) in the 11 former Confederate states in the 1932 election vs. Hoover: South Carolina 98, Mississippi 96, Louisiana 93, Georgia 92, Texas 88, Arkansas 86, Alabama 85, Florida 75, North Carolina 70, Virginia 68, Tennessee 66. (I guess we can be thankful that those kinds of numbers are history.)
