Well, that would make sense given an original publication date in the early 40's.
Obviously Cash can't have anticipated the changes from 1940-2014, but I'd be hard-pressed to find a book that better answer's OP's question re the reason the South, from its inception, was viewed as "different."

The South is so much different than it was 70 years ago. I agree it probably helped frame the cultural institutions but the South has become so much more class conscious, not just divided by race.
In contrast, the Midwest used to celebrate it's working class where the South generally shite on theirs. Most of us came from poor working class Southern stock though.
I'd say class is a greater dividing line today than race
