You mean back when Americans of all ages voted along class lines (somewhat) and working class people couldn't attend universities unless they'd had a military career before?


Of course, there were plenty of elite Democrats back then ("before the 70s" is an awfully long time), and there have always been certain working-class areas that voted heavily Republican (some since the Civil War era)....

What are some working-class areas that were Republican in the 30's-40's era?

Eastern Tennessee.
