Here is what I found on 'went south'. True or not... Your guess is as good as mine. 
The expression "went south" is used to define failure, loss or a bad experience and started after the Civil War. "Went South" was used in a derogatory manner to infer that anything from the South was bad, a failure. The term is attributed to General William Sherman during the burning of Atlanta.
