The Cretaceous Period shoreline vs how Alabama voted in the 2016 election

I thought this was kind of neat
To provide some context the Cretaceous Period seashore would develop into some of the richest farmland in the US thanks to the seashore pushing rocks deep and leaving behind rich deposits in really loose soil which lead to the development of the cotton industry in this area which, of course lead to large plantations with slaves whose decedents remain in this area.

Gives new meaning to the black belt region.

I’m originally from that area and as a kid hunting near Pine Apple and Greenville AL my grandad and I found tons of fossilized seashells.

I was born in Montgomery and you could find seashells, sharksteeth, etc. whenever there was a major construction site.
The correlation between the two maps has always fascinated me. You can even see the shoreline from space.

Well at least we finally found where the blue wave washed up at.

I'm honestly surprised there were that many Alabama counties that went blue. I would have figured maybe 3 or 4 but not an entire band across the state.
You're onto something, OP.
Just for shits and giggles, this is how my state has voted since W's second term. Not one single blue county for Gore, the Kenyan or Killary

The term was first used to designate a part of the country which was distinguished by the color of the soil. The part of the country possessing this thick, dark, and naturally rich soil was, of course, the part of the South where the slaves were most profitable, and consequently they were taken there in the largest numbers. Later and especially since the war, the term seems to be used wholly in a political sense—that is, to designate the counties where the black people outnumber the white.

I always associated the predominantly black counties as the ones that follow the south Atlantic fall line from emporia Virginia to wetumpka Alabama and then take a curve northward toward Memphis.
Along this line, rivers gained speed due to rapid loss of elevation form the piedmont to the coastal plain.
. This is actually a case of geography that can be associated with voting patterns accurately.
This fall line powered mills and collected laborers, hand in hand.
The counties still vote democrat.

Our church has a mission trip every year........ What far flung, third world shithole do they visit? Hale County, AL.
Parts of the Black Belt are very sad.
