A new study outlines how white people’s migration during and after the Civil War, from the Confederate South to the West, bolstered white supremacy and institutional racism in non-slave states, helping create the vast racial disparities that exist today nationwide.
Five researchers from separate colleges collaborated on the study, called “Confederate Diaspora,” to compile and study census data that tracked the migration to the West of white Americans, including 60,000 former plantation owners. The former Southerners took on local positions of authority, like police officers, clergy and politicians, giving them influence to create a post-Civil War culture that continued to oppress Black people even after slavery had ended.
This results in structural and systemic racism in almost every walk of life today — education, housing, jobs, health care and wealth, among other areas — that continues to hamper progress for Black people, according to a working paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research this month.
The former Confederates “continued to transmit norms to their children and non-Southern neighbors,” the researchers wrote, “shaping racial inequities in labor, housing, and policing.”
Researcher Patrick Testa, an assistant professor of economics at Tulane University in New Orleans, said the impact of the Confederates on other parts of the country was deep and long-lasting.

I've learned that a lot of "official" history is just bullsh*t. They cover up the truth because it makes the government look bad both in it's actions and it's corruption.
What a bunch of rubbish....where do you even begin? Just democrats fanning the flames of anti white hatred for political gain.
“ Why post this?”
Good question.
It’s kind of scary how they’re trying to dehumanize a huge group of people.
Terribly wrong there. A century ago the New England Yankees were penny pinching conservatives. Southerners and Westerners were poorer and were the big spending liberals.
Urban political machines became favorable towards federal spending when it was offered, but virtually all the urban machine politicians were Democrats, and in those days, Republicans could still get elected in Boston, New York, Chicago, and other cities.
Exactly. Must have been a lot of 2nd/3rd/4th generation Confederate Polish, German, Irish, Swedes, Greeks, Jews etc where I grew up on the south side of Chicago where I heard the N word a million times in my youth.
“Confederacy didn’t vote for Abraham Lincoln..”
So our current oligarchy/Union government isn’t their fault.
Please contrast with how Teachers Union is doing the same thing to our kids in 2023.
“...bolstered white supremacy and institutional racism...”
What else do you need to know about this dreck?
Alfred's grandson...changed his name for business reasons.
I am soooo tired of hearing about injustices done to ethnic groups decades and centuries ago.
Were 1960s labor unions Democrat campaign funders?
Are 2020s labor unions Democrat campaign funders/
Plenty o word salad like southern whites and KKK, but very light on DEMOCRATS. Cause soy boy wants to keep the Tulane job.
“Are the democrats still fighting that war?”
They aren’t democrats...they are communists.
According to Thomas Sowell, blacks who assimilated into the dominate American culture lived in northern white neighborhoods and were accepted by their white neighbors. Their children attended white schools and did just as well as the white kids. Those black folk were just as appalled by the uncouth, redneck-assimilated blacks who migrated north and proceeded to destroy neighborhoods and entire cities.
“The Northern states had the “Black Codes” on the books in their states which the Jim Crow laws were modelled on.”
I have a house deed from the 1940’s in a suburb of Chicago belonging to long since deceased ancestors. Has a no negro covenant in it.
