That's because historical gerrymandering was not as severe as now. Modern gerrymandering uses computer modeling to slice minorities as thinly as possible, creating insurmountable barriers.

Gerrymandering is a word that comes to us from the early 19th century. Massachusetts has been famously gerrymandered for decades and decades.
