I call BS, to some degree, on that map. Look closely at Montana.
A big blob somewhere near Great Falls (a military base).
A little blob near the corner of Wyoming, probably Bozeman (a college town).
A little blob on the Idaho border, Possibly Missoula (a college town).
But nothing over the rest of the state, not even Billings (another college town), where there is an ever increasing colored presence.
But then, nearly every internet list or map I have seen gets Montana wrong, along with many other Western states. Them highly eddikated folks back East jus' don' kno nuthin about the West, and ain't willin' to learn!
Firearms? I bet there are more firearms owned by Montana residents, and more CCP* holders than in ANY Southern State! Montana is an "open carry" state, and a "will issue" state for CCPs. Read Article II, Section 12 of the Montana State Constitution.
This article makes some interesting points about how the former CSA is dragging down our nation in general. The question is, how much longer will the rest of the country tolerate it?

So you want a single party dictatorship run by the liberals ?
Only you'd call it "Utopia" and get all your "social issues" solved.
Well since the Republicans hate minorities have them all move up north with you so they can also bask in your Utopia.

Why does America refuse this right to China and support the secessionism of Taiwan, Tibet, and Xinjiang? Why do they support Kosovo? Why do they support Iraqi Kurdistan? Why did they support the secession of Panama from Colombia? Don't you think it is hypocritical for the US to be against secessionism while supporting it in other countries?
It is easy to support secession with other countries. In the US there is no legal way for a state to secede.
No thanks. If you want to leave, then go ahead, but I personally like having the option of moving to, say, Texas or Georgia or Florida or Virginia or North Carolina in the future.
Don't worry, by the time Illinois, California and New York's underfunded state pensions require massive federal bailouts to remain solvent, and intolerance towards the south's drain on federal resources will quickly be diverted. Governor Jerry Brown recently commissioned a report to ascertain a prudent borrowing level over the next 5 years for state capitial improvement projects (BTW, the first time in 16 years a CA gov satisfied this state constitutional requirement), it compares CA's debt to the top 10 indebted states in the US. The report shows Illinois to already to be non-viable, with New York a distant 2nd, and CA just after that at 3rd. IIRC, the federal government advises state debt at no more than 5% of a states GDP, Illinois was 10%+.
When liberals spew hateful stereotypes and intolerance toward the South, they forget how many of their liberal heroes CAME from the South:
Jimmy Carter, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Ann Richardson, MLK
