It could be argued that the South didn't really get integrated with the rest of the US economy until the civil rights era.

I basically agree with this post, Win, but this particular sentence might be a bit of a generalization. I suspect one would need to disaggregate the "South" a bit. If we are talking economy and not polity, then Virginia in the 50s was, I suspect, already more a national economy than a Southern one, certainly the northern portions of Virginia; Texas was always a case on its own. But if you are talking deep South (excluding Florida), you could argue that portions have yet to join. Who is it, after all, that voted for John Stennis all those years?
