Pre-Trump, The South (barring West Virginia) was a historically pro-free trade area dating back to the slavery era, as it did not rely on manufacturing which meant that a protectionist like Perot would not have appealed to them. (I feel like George Wallace would've run a protectionist administration, but most people in The South voted for him for other reasons). Also, Clinton was seen as moderate enough for most Southerners (at least in 1992, if not 1996 as well, not to mention he was a favorite son).
