Those 10 states also opposed Civil Rights, the integration of schools, and the end of institutionalized racism. That is, they supported the least defensible side in the Civil War and on civil rights.
It could be that the former confederacy that was so far behind in 1860 and in 1960 is now far ahead of the rest of the nation in so uniformly supporting Trump in contrast to the West and Northeast. Or it could be that they are - once again - on the wrong side of history. And weirdly, for some of the same bad reasons.
