So with a POD of 1900 onwards, make the US south the worst shit hole you possibly can for everyone living there, make the standard of living like Hati if you can.

Bonus points

1) the North is doing just fine, but decides to let the south hang itself.

2) the damage is self inflicted

3) religion is involved

4) 10 or fewer cities south of the Mason Dixon line with populations greater than 250,000 (American South West doesn't count, but Texas is included)

5) astronomical teen pregnancy rate

6) high suicide rate
 
If you butterfly away American participation in the World Wars you won't get the investment in heavy industry and military bases that happened iotl. The 1940's and 50's were when the South finally started to recover and grow (it had remained rather stagnant after the Civil War). You could also, ironically, keep segregation longer and have that lead to an apartheid-level boycott further impoverishing the region (can't sell cash crops if no one wants to do business with you).

Don't flame-bait.

Thanks.
