This paper shows how the migration of millions of Southern whites in the 20th century shaped the cultural and political landscape across America. Racially and religiously conservative, Southern white migrants created new electoral possibilities for a broad-based coalition with economic conservatives. With their considerable geographic scope, these migrants hastened partisan realignment and helped to catalyze and bolster a New Right movement with national influence over the long run. More than just augmenting the conservative voter base outside the South, they influenced non-Southerners by building evangelical churches, diffusing right-wing media, and mixing through intermarriage and residential integration. Tracking non-Southern households, we show that exposure to Southern white neighbors increased adoption of conservative religious norms. Overall, our findings suggest that this mass migration blurred the North–South cultural divide and reshaped the geography of conservatism in the U.S.

另一场大迁徙：南方白人和新右翼

本文展示了 20 世纪数百万南方白人的迁移如何塑造了美国的文化和政治格局。种族和宗教上保守的南方白人移民为与经济保守派建立基础广泛的联盟创造了新的选举可能性。凭借其相当大的地理范围，这些移民加速了党派重新调整，并帮助催化和支持了一场从长远来看具有全国影响力的新右翼运动。他们不仅扩大了南方以外的保守派选民基础，还通过建立福音派教堂、传播右翼媒体以及通过通婚和居住融合来影响非南方人。跟踪非南方家庭，我们表明接触南方白人邻居会增加对保守宗教规范的采用。
