Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican?

[Mister D]

Manufacturing moved south starting right after WWII, leaving the north a rust belt.

I don't believe there is an adequate economic explanation for this phenomenon.

Unions up north kept wages high, the south had cheap labor. That's one reason.

I think, too, southern industry was developed during the war and they ended up with new plants.

No, I mean the alienation of the south by the Democrats. Obviously, there is a very good economic explanation for the migration in question.

"What white people have to do is try and find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a ‘nig-ger’ in the first place, because I’m not a nig-ger, I’m a man. But if you think I’m a nig-ger, it means you need him. The question you’ve got to ask yourself, is, if you invented him, you the white people invented him, then you’ve got to find out why. And the future of the country depends on that, whether or not it is able to ask that question.” Baldwin http://contemporarycondition.blogspo...blackness.html

The DNC is the party of slavery.

They created literal slavery. When that was taken away from them they implemented socioecononic slavery administered through ignorance and designed social dysfunction.

Yes but to be fair they at least pay them with everyone elses money
