Umm...The politics part of this is total bullshit and clearly made up by a democratic party member who has not understanding of history. The South voted almost entirely progressive until the 1980s. It lacks sources because no one can substantiate the poor claims like: This also caused these areas to become more Democratic over time.

Intro is rambling, unsourced and not NPOV
This whole article seems to need some work, but this intro is particularly bad. "The antebellum South was largely agrarian and sought to preserve its cultural identity in departing from the Union, which led to the irrepressible conflict."

I think it's bunk, but that's beside the point -- it's unsourced opinion / interpretation.

"After the war, the South was impoverished and seemed to be in great need of an alternative economy. The New South was no longer to be dependent on banned slave labor or predominantly upon the raising of cotton, but rather industrialized and part of a modern national economy." Also unsourced, and doesn't make sense -- The South magically became industrialized after the war? The former slaves just disappeared? Oh, right -- they were just part of the newly industrialized workforce Sorry if I'm violating DBAD and Assume Good Faith. I'm actually holding back. There really is a valid concept of "New South," but this article is looking like a coatrack for neoconfederate apologetics. Matt Kurz (talk) 03:04, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Images of Southern city skylines?
What is the justification of the use of the city skylines in this article? I don't think it makes very much sense. Some better illustrations of the New South are needed. --Iamozy (talk) 01:27, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Lyndon Johnson supported civil rights "at least in word if not deed"?
The article lists Harry Truman, JFK und Lyndon Johnson as supporting civil rights "at least in word if not deed". Is there any historical source that comes to the conclusion that they, especially Lyndon Johnson (who passed the Civil Rights Act!) did not support civil rights "in deed" also? There is no source given for it in the article. I'll remove that part if there is no disagreement. Nordostsüdwest (talk) 06:16, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
