An awful lot of Southerners moved North in the 20th century. Maybe they were ill-treated in the North (maybe they came here because they were treated worse in the South). Maybe their migration was the South's revenge for the Civil War and Reconstruction.
But maybe our moving down there is just the next act -- the response to what happened before. Southerners moved where the jobs were. Now Northerners are doing the same (maybe it all has to do with air conditioning, I don't know). By this point, though, I wonder if really unreconstructed Dixiecrats don't feel as out of place in Southern cities as Northern transplants do.
BS alert. Most were GTT.
