May I do it in sentences instead sentances?
Here is the real modern history of the Democratic Party, starting in the 30's.
1. The party of FDR was a left/right coalition party divided generally by region; the north was dominated by liberal Democrats, the south was dominated by conservative democrats.
2. the southern conservative democrats were segregationist, and the northern liberals were not, but because the two factions had common interests in other areas, they were able to maintain the coalition.
3. During the FDR years, one of the important reasons the Democratic coalition held together was that the northern liberal faction, despite their anti-segregationist/pro-civil rights views,
did not press those issues. In short, they were giving the southern Democrats a pass, for the sake of the coalition and the political power that came with it. Remember FDR's dominance for multiple terms? That came about partly because of the strength of the coalition.
4. In the postwar late 40's, when Truman became president, the coalition began to break down. Truman began to push for civil rights, as did the northern liberals. Truman integrated the military; the liberals put civil rights planks in the Democratic platform.
5. In the South, the Democrats reacted most noticeably when many of them broke away into the so-called Dixiecrat Party. That was the first big crack in the coalition described above.
6. The coalition was never fully repaired. Eisenhower won Virginia, Florida, and Texas in 1952, and added Louisiana in 1956, Kennedy and Nixon essentially split the South in 1960.
Do you want me to go on?
