WATCH:Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican?

The south used to vote Democrat. Now it votes Republican. Why the switch? Was it, as some people say, because the GOP decided to appeal to racist whites? Carol Swain, Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University, explains.

If Professor Swain doesn't already have tenure, she's never going to get it after this.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

Sad,but true.

She also will never again get any papers published,and that is the kiss of career death in academia.

Our southern colonies were largely agrarian and rural while the northern colonies were much less so.
Founders such as Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and many others were Democrats and States Rights advocates since 1775. In contrast, the Republican Party came into existence literally on the eve of the Civil War and promoted strong Centralized Government.
With the election of FDR in 1932, the D's moved away from the southern focus of their values
which championed States Rights, while the R's now championed the middle class and it's values.
It was dual refocusing of what each institution stood for.
