Resolved Question: Can you translate this into simple, plain english? Thanks?
The Sun Belt is known as the southern tier of the United States and includes the following states of Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Colorado, Utah, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Nevada, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and extending as far north as Virginia. The Bible Belt occupies much of the same geography as the Sun Belt, with the exception of the southwest. [1][2]
Author and political analyst Kevin Phillips claims to have coined the term “to describe the oil, military, aerospace and retirement country stretching from Florida to California” in his 1969 book The Emerging Republican Majority.[3]
The term “Sun Belt” became synonymous with the southern third of the nation in the early 1970s. There was a shift in this period from the previously economically and politically important northeast to the south and west. Events such as the huge migration of immigrant workers from neighbouring Mexico, warmer climate, and a boom in the agriculture industry allowed for the southern third of the U.S.A. to grow by leaps and bounds economically. The climate spurred not only agricultural growth but was also a haven for many retirees who set up retirement communities in places such as Florida and Arizona.
Industries such as aerospace, defense and oil boomed in the Sun Belt as companies took advantage of the low involvement of labor unions in the south and enjoyed the proximity to many U.S. military installations who were the major consumers of their products. The oil industry helped propel many southern states such as Texas and Louisiana forward and tourism exploded in Florida and southern California.
Since 1970, the Sun Belt states have gained 25 electoral votes, many of which were shifted from northeastern and midwestern states. Since Lyndon B. Johnson’s election in 1964, every elected United States President, with the exception of Barack Obama from Illinois, has been from the Sun Belt. (Gerald Ford, who was from Michigan, served as President following Richard Nixon’s resignation but was not elected as President, and lost to Georgia’s Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election.)
