There's plenty of racism in the North too - and plenty of racists who got angry when African-Americans fought for equality. Oregon was a sundown state - no Blacks allowed, period. It is not in the South. I am actually surprised the racists in Eastern Oregon hasn't put up a statue of a Confederacy general, to be honest.
