Is that the April 12, 1861 Map?
A solid proof of American Exceptionalism is just how far the South has risen after the WBTS. What was once a region of slavery and the Democrat party now embraces freedom wholeheartedly with a pro-business environment characterized by Right to Work, ensuring economic liberty for all. No wonder the South, a strongly pro-God, pro-gun part of America, is the engine that drives the whole country.
It's no coincidence that most of the Right to Work states repudiated the Marxist in the 2008 elections, favoring the ticket with a true Tea Party Patriot, Sarah Palin.
To a large extent, the regions where union thugs extort businesses (and employees as well), saw an embrace of the anti-freedom, anti-American, economic-crippling agenda of Obama and his type.
As a courtesy (another Southern trait) to all just now visiting the thread, here again is the Right to Work map. It really is interesting to compare it to the two others I posted in this message.
