That's an interesting observation. How did you arrive at it?

In fact, I would bet that if someone compared the states that voted Rep. back then to the states that now vote Dem., there would be a very good correlation.
It seems to me that the Southern States became less racist when they became Republican.

And the Northern States seem to have morphed from what was then a conservative, more constitutional Republicanism which embraced the original American ethic of personal responsibility and fidelity to founding principles into something quite opposite--Progressivism.
