In Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865-1968,
Heersink and Jenkins examine how National Convention politics
allowed the South to remain important to the Republican Party after
Reconstruction, and trace how Republican organizations in the South
changed from biracial coalitions to mostly all-white ones over
time. Little research exists on the GOP in the South after
Reconstruction and before the 1960s. Republican Party Politics and
the American South, 1865-1968 helps fill this knowledge gap. Using
data on the race of Republican convention delegates from 1868 to
1952, the authors explore how the 'whitening' of the Republican
Party affected its vote totals in the South. Once states passed
laws to disenfranchise blacks during the Jim Crow era, the
Republican Party in the South performed better electorally the
whiter it became. These results are important for understanding how
the GOP emerged as a competitive, and ultimately dominant,
electoral party in the late-twentieth century South.
