Following up on buritobr'a post regarding Democrats in the South.
I've read up quite a bit on politics in the pst hundred years and I've found a lot of times during the administrations of especially Truman, JFK and LBJ that the Democrats had OVERWHELMING majorities in both houses and there were a lot of times that intiatives those Democrat Presidents wanted to get passed were stopped in their tracks by "Southern Democrats" (Not just racial issues either).
In reading up on "Southern Dems" in the past 100 years but especially from 45-80, they were very conservative in nature. So if that's the case then what separated them from Republicans of the time?
Can someone explain this for me?
