Blacks vote 95% liberal. If the south wasn't part of the United States then there would not have been the mass migrations into northern cities before, during, and after the Civil War. Our willingness to rid ourselves of slavery early up here would've helped in keeping us more conservative. Reagardless, if we were two seperate countries the last 200 and some years, we might be speaking German or Japanese by now anyway, or perhhaps Balkanized.

Then can you explain to me why Canada and France are socialist, despite having an insignificant black population?

Your theory does not hold much water.

Really? Perhaps we could have been as 'enlightened' as the north and just outlawed blacks altogether then as several of the separate and sovereign states in the north did.

#3....that does not compute.

The largest percentage black states in the Union are in the South, primarily the old Cotton States which still manage to vote conservative as a rule in National elections.

Your average white person in the north is more likely to be liberal than the same demographic in the South. Research voting stats...in a Cotton State, typically the whites have to go 70% or better Pubbie to carry the state and they do more often than not. I doubt you will find whites voting like that anywhere else in the country.

I would also argue that Southern blacks....particularly rural blacks are more Conservative at least culturally than those in the North.

Have you ever been to the liberal mecca of the Upper West Side of Manhattan? Hardly a black in sight south of 125th (sans a few blocks of Amsterdam up near St John the Divine).

I would agree that black voting patterns account for local liberalism largely in urban areas but they do not explain the broader picture. Black liberal voting habits also make most Southern urban areas liberal as well. Atlanta is a perfect example and Nashville too except their influence is somewhat less due to lower numbers.
