I'm no expert on this subject, but I can think of two examples of migration from north to south.

The first was during the 18th century, when some Scotch-Irish migrated south from Pennsylvania into the Southern backcountry. IIRC the ancestors of Sam Houston and James K. Polk both came from Ulster (northern Ireland) by way of Pennsylvania.

The second was during Reconstruction, by "carpetbaggers."
