The Democratic hold on the South I think had a lot to do with the fact that the Republicans were early supporters of abolition and in the years following the Civil War the "party of inclusion" (the Democratic Party) was still adamantly in favor of protecting Southern states' rights. Weird how that inversion occurred somewhere around the time of Reagan. Man, 1904 was the most interesting–split straight across the North-South line.
