    The north is racist too. He wouldn’t want to alienate them. After all Montana has the highest concentration of white supremacists per capita.

    California apparently has the most hate groups by total amount.

    I verified Montana with another website. If you want to know the full list of per capita. Just google it. But all that hate isn’t trapped in the south. Though, I admit that there is more than enough to go around down here.

      Montana was not a state until well after the end of the civil war so it isn’t a northern or southern state.

        Right. What I was saying is. Calling the civil war the “war of northern aggression” may make some of the racists that currently live in the northern states upset.

        I meant northern as a literal geographic area. Like how Oregon is in the north. As opposed to some arbitrary line like the 31st parallel, or the mason Dixon line.

        No, much like I said in my comment. Now, just like then. The racists are everywhere. They are in the north and the south. Trump welcomes racists from all over the US irregardless of geographical location.
