Charts detailing racial trends in the US indicate a very high African-American population trend across the Southern states. In most elections, those have been the states that elect Republicans by very healthy margins. However, in states up north, especially the New England area, there is a very low population of non-whites. Exit polls show that more than 90% of African-Americans vote Democratic, so how can the South be so conservative and the Northeast be so liberal?
Whites in the northeast tend to be better educated and less religious than whites in the south.
