The shaping of Southern politics

This book by J. Morgan Kousser examines the transformation of the Southern political system from the post-Reconstruction era to the early 20th century.

It focuses on how suffrage restrictions, such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses, contributed to the establishment of a one-party system in the South.

The work is based on a thorough analysis of election data and historical context, providing insights into the political and social changes of the period.
