The southern states only recently recovered from the civil war and the loss of slavery there main economic engine places like Alabama only started to become developed in like 1990 today its a major manufacturing powerhouse west Virginia Will likely remain a shithole that place has not recovered from the closing of the coal mines
Oklahoma was supposed to belong to natives but they found oil so it became a state it has a bunch of natural resources that can’t be exploited cause of red tape . New Mexico is a desert barren land run by corrupt politicians it’s no wonder the crime rate is one of the highest in the western world and Puerto Rico once the Switzerland of the Caribbean has been reduced to permanent American colony /military base
Texas , Arizona , Idaho , and Florida really only start to develop after the Second World War and the creation of the inner state highway system they’ve been soaring high ever since
