because these folks just will not change their minds. The poor whites had no stake in slavery,in fact they were hurt by it, but they let the plantation owners Bu$hwack their brains with Bible-thumping racist rhetoric. They were the ones who went off to fight like maniacs for the sake of the rich. They have always done what the church told them and voted against their own interests. The Progressive revolt that later swept the rest of the country made no inroads into their closed minds. I know the Bible Belt...I lived there for too many years.
