I have no doubt any Southerner would agree with "northerizing it". But 100 years in America is not a lack of simply monetary capitol, it's also hiding or burying ones talents. In that hundred years thousands came to America with nothing and became barons of capital.

Rebuilding does not just take monetary capitol. It's also about human and mental or mindset capital. I'd call it those that had coasted and were bitter. They made not have had much, but they did nothing or little with it. The lived at the genteel pace of Southern culture. There is nothing wrong with that, but it does not build booming economies.

I think much of Europe today is suffering from the same type of problems.
