      Should have Year Zero’d them in 1865. Hang every plantation owner and Confederate officer, shut down every bank that funded slave purchases, break up the plantations and distribute the land to the freed slaves. May Andrew Johnson burn in hell.

      Tbf there’s the South and there’s Alabama and Mississippi South.

      And Louisiana, sometimes. And Georgia, obviously. Florida.

      Texas… Okay, it’s the whole South.

      But at least that cancer hasn’t spread to the Midwestern states!

              And we got the beautiful, mineral-rich upper peninsula. Pretty good trade in the end!

          Indiana. Don’t forget that South Bend is basically the home of the third wave of the Klan.

            During the peak of the Second Klan in the 20’s, roughly 1/3 white people in Indiana were Klan members.

        Louisiana always. Just as bad if not worse sometimes. They pioneered the current abortion bans states are adopting.
