| First of all, yes, the Democratic Party *was* the party of slavery and segregation for most of the 19th century and the early 20th century. And yes, the Republican Party in Lincoln's era was the party of civil rights! Excellent textbook. Study it and then don't ever let a republican claim some racial high ground again. -dbciii | |||||

| You know who thought Southern Democrats were conservative? The head of the Republican National Committee, who went down to Birmingham in 1952 to make the case that the Dixiecrats had a natural home in the GOP and should switch. You know who else? ME! I am old enough to remember before the Southern Strategy. -dbciii | |||||

| A history lesson *is* warranted. Senators James Eastland and Herman Talmadge were southern *conservatives*— as were other segregationists, in both parties. | |||||

| The realignment was clearest in the presidential contests of the 1960s. MS broke its age-old ties to national Democrats and instead chose independent segregationists in 1960 (Harry Byrd) & 1968 (George Wallace) and a GOP opponent of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 (Goldwater). | |||||
