Because it was already so bad, dummy. The South was in a Depression from about 1863 to 1963.

with dumb [bleep] like you its a wonder it ever got out of it. Good thing the gov't took pity on ignorant pieces of chit such as yourself Idiots like you divide our country and make it weaker.
Seems that you know little about the South. I can remember how poor my family and everyone that I knew were. We raised most of what we ate and raised a small cotton crop, and some hogs for cash money. Lots of our neighbors sold their small parcels of land and went North to work in the factory's, but there was little to do here to make money. That was in the 1950's and early 1960's. miles
