Preferred term

Southern Democratic Party  

Definition

  • THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY in the south has had a complex, oftentimes problematic past. It had its modern start in the pursuit and maintenance of white supremacy, was transformed, sometimes painfully, into the party of reform and equal rights, and continues with faction-ridden, locally charged, and fractious politics.
