Basically, <u>two important changes were introduced to the definition of homeland security in 2010</u>. <u>First one</u> was about <em><u>Nation’s homeland security missions. </u></em>These missions are enterprise-wide, and not limited to the Department of Homeland Security. Federal Government, State, local, tribal, and territorial governments, the private sector, and other non-governmental organizations are responsible for executing these missions. The homeland security professionals must have a clear sense of what it takes to achieve this vision. <u>The second change</u> was about <em><u>three key and essential concepts for a comprehensive approach to homeland security: Security, Resilience and Customs and Exchange</u></em>.
Politics of the Southern United States<span> (or </span>Southern politics<span>) refers to the political landscape of the </span>Southern United States<span>. Due to the region's unique cultural and historic heritage, the American South has been prominently involved in numerous political issues faced by the United States as a whole, including </span>States' rights<span>, </span>slavery<span>, </span>Reconstruction<span> and the </span>Civil Rights Movement<span>. The region was a "Solid South" voting heavily for Democratic candidates for president, and for state and local offices, from the 1870s to the 1960s. Its Congressmen gained seniority and controlled many committees. In presidential politics the South moved into the Republican camp in 1968 and ever since, with exceptions when the Democrats nominated a Southerner. Since the 1990s control of state and much local politics has turned Republican in every state.</span>
