    Southern Christians were the most socialist, they had huey long, and the south was dead poor and without electricity till the new deal and tva.

    But lbj made them choose between their religion and their racism, and that was no choice.

    That’s unfair, the southern baptist convention was formed because the triennial convention wasn’t explicitly pro-slaveey enough, so they kept their religion, just without all that icky “caring for your fellow man” garbage.
