I love reading about this stuff. Have you read American Nations by Colin Woodward?

Most people don't realize the Deep South was settled by a lot of planters from Barbados, Jamaica, and (in Louisiana) Cuba and St. Domingue (what would become known as Haiti). Not all people right off the boat from Europe.

I have not but am of Scots-Irish-Austrian/German descent i.e. "full blown genetic anglican redneck"

V.O.Key translated this phenomenon as "friends and neighbors voting patterns" Richard Viguerie turned it into the Reagan Democrats and Christian Republican movement...

And the Democrats continued their echo chamber of stupidity ever since but really conceded this base with Great Society in 64-66/LBJ...
