You are wrong to paint the Confederacy and post-war south as somehow liberal because we were Democratic. True the south was historically Democratic, but that was when the Democratic party was THE consertvative party. Slavery was practiced all across the US and only after industrialism replaced the need for intensive labor that “holier than thou”, intrusive, abolitionists decided to impose their new found opposition to slavery on the southern states. The north and non-slave states were, however, not some utopia for blacks, as racism was a cultural trend everywhere.
The “old” southern Democratic party, before it was infested by liberalism, was THE party of states rights and linmited federal government. That changed later in the 20th century, but here in the south we have always been conservative- even when we were Democrats. When the party went left, we rejected it and from then on have been the backbone of conservative, GOP, politics. Every conservative presidential candidate has started with a “southern strategy”.
