Yep. The old southern "Bulls" who ran all the congressional committies like their own personal kingdoms back in the 50s who brought all the pork to Dixie and attracted a lot of ambitious, educated and conservative young Yankees to move to their states and register Republican. LOL. Well it was that and Mr. Carrier who were responsible for the Sun Belt migration.

Maybe without the North, the South would look like Mexico.
