The lasting effects of slavery on contemporary political attitudes
in the American South Despite dramatic social transformations in
the United States during the last 150 years, the South has remained
staunchly conservative. Southerners are more likely to support
Republican candidates, gun rights, and the death penalty, and
southern whites harbor higher levels of racial resentment than
whites in other parts of the country. Why haven't these sentiments
evolved? Deep Roots shows that the entrenched views of white
southerners are a direct consequence of the region's slaveholding
history. Today, southern whites who live in areas once reliant on
slavery-compared to areas that were not-are more racially hostile
and less amenable to policies that could promote black progress. A
groundbreaking look at the ways institutions of the past continue
to sway attitudes of the present, Deep Roots demonstrates how
social beliefs persist long after the formal policies that created
those beliefs have been eradicated.
