The Past Shapes Alabama Elections
Sometimes the past just isn't always the past. How a coastline 100 million years ago influences modern election results in Alabama Cretaceous Sediments Fertile Blackland Prairie Soil Average Farm Size, 1997 Slave Population, 1860 Black population, 2010 Election Results, 2020
A static infographic compares Alabama maps showing Cretaceous sediments, fertile soil, farm sizes, historical slave population, Black population, and the 2020 election results. The joke is that ancient geography and historical population patterns still visibly echo in modern political outcomes, making the past feel uncomfortably present. The clip is accompanied by “Snow Falls, Gently” by silent collision, whose quiet, reflective music gives the historical comparison a somber and ironic mood.
