The Civil War was nearly 160 years ago. Plenty of black families moved to places they felt welcomed. Apparently Arkansas was not one of those destinations. The simple reason was probably that they don't feel as welcome there as at most other southern states.

I don’t know why I’m even replying to this or that it matters but I feel the necessity to ask you if you’re meaning to speak past tense on that or present or if you’re literally mixing them up as you have typed out. Again it doesn’t matter really but the state of AR has the 15th highest % of African Americans. I’ll acknowledge that most of the sec states rank higher but your tone kinda makes it seem like we’d be 50th on the list vs 15th in reality.

Yes Arkansas was a poor and rural state. So of course no one wanted to move to Arkansas no matter the color of skin as it didn't provide jobs for working class families. Many blacks including whites moved up North for better opportunities.

Leave it to Bama fans to somehow tie anything to Bama.

He is trying to say that Arkansas is more racist than Alabama with a lower black population but yet both states endured the Jim Crow era.

This is as stupid as it is false. Wilbur Jackson was on the team that played USC with Sam Cunningham but was a freshman and couldn't dress out or play as per the rules of the day.

The simple reason is, much like the rural north, there’s not welfare offices and “head start” centers in every little community in Arkansas, as opposed to most of the rest of the southern states.

It’s not an end. As you said, John Mitchell is still coaching.

Wow that may be one of the most ignorant statements of all time.

Some southern states were admitted to the union decades before Arkansas was. Arkansas I would assume to be difficult for travel and not at a desirable location for jobs unless it involved agriculture.

Again, for the millionth time, ALL Southern states are ALL guilty of committing treason and leaving the US for no reason other than preserving slavery (read the damn succession declarations if you want to continue living in some fantasy world). The possible abolishment of slavery was literally the first sentence of the first complaint for why Arkansas seceded

For a Southern state, you hillbillies in Arkansas are decidedly white. Why is that? I guess the fact your state is very white for a Southern state is part of the reason your football team sucks so much.
Is this an insult or a compliment? Asking for a friend.

Arkansas was going to remain neutral in the war had it not been ordered by Lincoln to send 700 Arkansas guardsmen to Fort Sumter. Before that it was by vote to not get involved however the politicians panicked and decided to vote again to leave the union.

Arkansas
An Ordinance to dissolve the union now existing between the State of Arkansas and the other States united with her under the compact entitled "The Constitution of the United States of America."
Whereas, in addition to the well-founded causes of complaint set forth by this convention, in resolutions adopted on the 11th of March, A.D. 1861, against the sectional party now in power in Washington City, headed by Abraham Lincoln, he has, in the face of resolutions passed by this convention pledging the State of Arkansas to resist to the last extremity any attempt on the part of such power to coerce any State that had seceded from the old Union, proclaimed to the world that war should be waged against such States until they should be compelled to submit to their rule, and large forces to accomplish this have by this same power been called out, and are now being marshaled to carry out this inhuman design; and to longer submit to such rule, or remain in the old Union of the United States, would be disgraceful and ruinous to the State of Arkansas:
Therefore we, the people of the State of Arkansas, in convention assembled, do hereby declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, that the "ordinance and acceptance of compact" passed and approved by the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas on the 18th day of October, A.D. 1836, whereby it was by said General Assembly ordained that by virtue of the authority vested in said General Assembly by the provisions of the ordinance adopted by the convention of delegates assembled at Little Rock for the purpose of forming a constitution and system of government for said State, the propositions set forth in "An act supplementary to an act entitled `An act for the admission of the State of Arkansas into the Union, and to provide for the due execution of the laws of the United States within the same, and for other purposes,'" were freely accepted, ratified, and irrevocably confirmed, articles of compact and union between the State of Arkansas and the United States, and all other laws and every other law and ordinance, whereby the State of Arkansas became a member of the Federal Union, be, and the same are hereby, in all respects and for every purpose herewith consistent, repealed, abrogated, and fully set aside; and the union now subsisting between the State of Arkansas and the other States, under the name of the United States of America, is hereby forever dissolved.
And we do further hereby declare and ordain, that the State of Arkansas hereby resumes to herself all rights and powers heretofore delegated to the Government of the United States of America; that her citizens are absolved from all allegiance to said Government of the United States, and that she is in full possession and exercise of all the rights and sovereignty which appertain to a free and independent State.
We do further ordain and declare, that all rights acquired and vested under the Constitution of the United States of America, or of any act or acts of Congress, or treaty, or under any law of this State, and not incompatible with this ordinance, shall remain in full force and effect, in nowise altered or impaired, and have the same effect as if this ordinance had not been passed.
Adopted and passed in open convention on the 6th day of May, A.D. 1861.
