In the 20th Century, the North and the South diverged on white supremacy...
Not quite. There were substantial nummbers, north and south, who "diverged" in the mid 19th Century.
The idea that there were no abolitionists in the South or Unionists in the South is a fallacy of the first order.
See Hinton Rowan Helper, et. al.
The South was NOT monolithic in its support for secession.
