Historical continuity of Democrats and Republicans

Cathcon: how about 5th: the Democratic Party dies off outside of the South, but keeps the South as a one party ruled area run through terror and electoral style events.

I could see a situation where the Democrats become basically kingmakers in the House and the Senate between the GOP and some new Progressive Party fighting it out in the North/West.

I wonder where parties in other countries stood on women’s suffrage and alcohol prohibition.

Rather famously, the French left was deeply skeptical of women's suffrage because many in the French socialist party thought that women were more religiously inclined than men and more apt to be swayed by the Roman Catholic Church.
