Political Shifts in the US from Historical Perspectives
The US political landscape saw a significant shift over time, marked by the transition of the South from being culturally aligned with the Democratic Party to aligning with the Republican Party. This transformation was influenced by crucial events like the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and Richard Nixon's Southern Strategy. The realignment was triggered by factors such as the Civil Rights Act, which led many Southern Democrats to shift their allegiance to the Republican Party, affecting voting preferences of different social classes.
