“Appomattox determined that the North would

establish the rules for our Union ... for the next hun-

dred years. The North would set the freight rates so

damaging to the South. The North would determine

the tariffs that made it so rich and kept the South so

poor. The North would determine everything, it

seemed, and would do so perpetually. But look at

the situation today. Where is the power flowing?

Always to the South. Where are the seats in Congress

coming? To Texas and Florida. Where would you

like to live if you were young and active and hope-

ful? Vermont? Or the Sunbelt?”

—James Michener, Texas, 1985
