After the war, the South became all Democrats. When WHEN did African-Americans start voting democrat? Remember Condi Rice? She said her dad was a republican. I bet all blacks in South were republicans even if not allowed to vote. Did it flip after 1964

Yes Condi Rice has told the story of how Republicans helped her grandfather register to vote in the Jim Crow south. That’s how her family came to be Republicans.

It may have taken longer in the south, but nationally blacks first went Democrat for FDR in 1932.
