In reality, the Confederacy ended up with the victory. Dixie is the land of a strong economy and the Yankee states are increasing the minimum wage and dealing with confiscatory corporate taxes.
Indeed, things have done a 180 as this map makes abundantly clear. The "Solid South" is the land of true freedom and liberty, rejecting the slavery of Big Labor. Those states that once ostensibly fought against human bondage now are shackled by the evils of unionism.
I hate to post three times in a row, but you are spot on with your opinion and the map proves it.Thanks for posting it.
Strong economy? LOL
