Well, I can only speak for my family. I have no Catholic ancestry, and it is predominantly Episcopalian, with some Unitarian, Congregationalist, and Presbyterian. All of my ancestors as far back as it is recorded were British or of British ancestry. My family, being abolitionists, voted Republican from the time of the party's founding until 1948, when my grandfather voted for Henry Wallace. Since then, we have supported the Democratic candidates. Why this is, I don't know why. But there was a seismic shift.
