The South has always tended to be for free trade, tough on crime, hostile to labor rights, hostile to feminism, and hostile to public education. However, the south tended to support the 16th amendment (because income taxes were an alternative to tariffs) and tended to support entitlements such as the Social Security Act (which also created "welfare").

It can't be stated enough how important trade was to making the Solid South so solid. The South hated the high tariffs that the GOP pushed.

Was the de-polarization of tariffs after Smoot-Hawley and WWII part of what allowed the Buckeyite wing of the GOP to form?
