And that's not just because people weren't interested in voting. In some ways democracy is a recent development in the Deep South.  The political tradition was more unified than in neighboring states with more upland areas (eg.  AL, where you had pro-Unionists in the hill country during the Civil War).

Also because blacks were effectively barred from voting.
