culture compared to st. louis and missouri in the southwest of the state. in each of these cultures is not just demographically different, the people don't just look different -- but they live differently, come from different areas, and that should produce political outcomes that are more than the sum of their parts. will explain this for a minute. it looks confusing at first. this is a graph -- this is what people like me do -- i love graphing things and crunching numbers and making pictures of them. every bubble is a county, and the size corresponds to the size of the county, how many people lived or voted there. when i want to demonstrate is that in spite of the things i will be talking about tonight, there is a lot of stability and politics. in 2008, if i know that the county gave only 20% of its vote to president obama, and election that he won, i know that in 2010 i can spot on predict what percentage of the vote the county would give to obama for years later. years later. i can switch this to the congressional candidates, or senate candidates, or other elections, and i will find

, missouri, it's only about one white family in four was slave holding. but this really kind of ties back to my earlier question, lots and lots of white southerners who did not own slaves nevertheless felt that slavery was part of what they were accustomed to and in many instances what they aspired to become the way to kind of climb the ladder in southern society was to own land and slaves. and so i think it's true that throughout the white south even though you might have had a tactical disagreement, is is he seeding a good idea? a lot of division of opinion before the war starts much less after the war starts. but on this narrow question of are we content to continue having slavery or do we want to try to do something about it, the overwhelming majority of white southerners, 99 plus percent wanted to hold on to slavery and would have reacted and did react in a very hostile way to any suggestion that we ought to get rid of slavery. the north is much more of a mixed bag. i think it is true that probably majorities of white northerners didn't feel any kind of moral angst about slavery. rem
