South Carolina, for example, was largely rice plantations. So if you look at that wave of blue in SC that doesn't appear to correlate as well to the dots for cotton plantations, well imagine about twice as many dots there if you were to add the rice plantations on the map too. The same applies to that little bit on blue in coastal Georgia, not a cotton plantation area - but plenty of plantations there all the same.MKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865813246878611797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166057.post-24310028110875341942009-01-15T19:26:00.000-03:302009-01-15T19:26:00.000-03:30I bet John King of CNN wished he had that map on t...I bet John King of CNN wished he had that map on the magic board election night.
