The south became Democrats AFTER the civil war.

Say what?

Really? So Andy Jackson wasn’t a Democrat? Pal, I’ll tell you, that is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. The false narrative goes like this:They became Republicans after The Civil War.

The Whig Party fell apart in the mid-1850s. Thereafter, the South, predominantly Democrat previously, became exclusively so.

The 1860 South was a one-party region. In the 1860 election, the Republicans weren’t even on the ballot in most southern states.
