It's easy to forget how relatively recently it was that Florida (and Texas) grew into very high-population states. Check this Electoral College map from 1948: FL had 8 EVs! NY had 47, PA had 35, OH 25, MI 19. Iowa had 10! Compare to the 2024 map.

I bet you would be even more surprised to know that I grew up with White and Colored water fountains. It was so normal and accepted that it was foreign to us, and confusing, why anyone would think there was anything wrong with it.

Nobody was offended by it. Not the coloreds or the whites. We learned by our mistakes. And we made a Hell of a lot of them.
