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.

And the “ex-Confederates” are all Democrats.
The article just summed up the kkkommiecrat party perfectly.
Yes, they are.
So Democrats were and still are bad, who knew.
I think they meant LBJ.
It is sure hard to find reliable editors today.
Why post this?
Just another hit in the 2nd radical reconstruction.
One of them was Virginia’s own Woodrow Wilson, who set race relations back by decades.
Get the hell out of here. The notion that the north and west were not racist is garbage. May not have had slavery, but they were racist as well.. idiotic nonsense
Yup. Nuthin but a bunch of western red necks by golly. Dont move west. Stay back east. Not much racis’ stuff in the NE corridor.
Anything to create division.
So why are the Democrats so bound and determined to keep black people poor, ignorant, and disarmed...and why do Democrats support the ongoing genocide of black people via their agents at Planned Parenthood?
Party of Slavery = Democrats
Party of Confederacy = Democrats
Party of KKK = Democrats
Party of Jim Crow = Democrats
Party of Segregation = Democrats
And don’t give me that carp that the parties have switched.
Labor unions supported Democrats when George Wallace was governor of Alabama and fighting against desegregation.
Labor unions support Democrats to this day.
There was no “switcheroo.”
That’s a funny way of revising history to say that the northern states didn’t rescind slavery on their books until long after the war was over.
It’s also revisionist history because they seem to have already forgotten after demanding that J6 people should not hold office based on the civil war law that banned southerners from holding office or voting… they now say the civil war southerners did JUST THAT!
Amazing.
This is pure misinformation at its finest.
So why are there so many black racists now?
The Northwest Territory: “The territory now forms the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and a portion of Minnesota, comprising more than 260,000 square miles.: Organized in 1787 75 years before anyone ever heard of the Confederacy, no slavery was allowed and no blacks allowed. Wonder why this little jewel of a fact was ignored but this brainy bunch?
If it originates from Comcast, high probability it’s BS
FU, Comcast
Confederacy didn’t vote for Abraham Lincoln
