I think its foolish to even do an analysis on "the south" this is a region of over 100 million people and the most diverse demographically. It smacks of outdated thinking.
surely nobody thinks of "the north" encompassing everything from Minnesota to Maine and nobody would consider diagnosing the macro-situation across such a region. "Oh coal towns in Pennsylvania and old industrial cities in Ohio are blighted, guess that means the North is falling behind!"
