RE: Civil War vs Election

I'm  sure there are many factors.
Florida is also home to many Jews (who vote overwhelmingly Democratic)
and African Americans (also Dems) and many other relocators from the
north. I doubt if I'm really qualified to make sense of it....p

Yes, that was what I realized. But I was wondering whether there was something else and what was the relation between neo-conservadurism and the old slave traditions. On the other hand, the South is voting Republican since a long time ago. In addition, in some cases, such as Florida, the relation is not straightforward, I guess, since it is linked with the political behavior of the Hispanics and Cuban politics. In short, even though there is a relation, I wondered about its nature and local peculiarities.

only simply right now (I've got a manuscript review to complete): the maps overlap to suggest that a great deal of Bush's support comes from states that once advocated slavery (and where the vestiges of slavery are still evident in housing segregation, economic disparities, etc.). Not a very hopeful sign in these times. p

This map is worth discussing.

Beyond the descriptive coincidences, how would you put the match in a narrative framework, Peter?
