You have to consider the broader history of the region. Most all of it’s history has been defined by race. Unions and left wing populism would have served to benefit black people as well, and that on a deep seated level has always been a problem for many white folks in the South. There’s a reason why when Social Security first passed, the Dixiecrats insisted on the qualifying age being higher than the life expectancy of black people at the time.

They also insisted that it specifically exclude agricultural and domestic workers, which is how 90% of black southerners earned their living.
