Make America Great Again

From Reconstruction up until the New Deal, the black population tended to vote Republican. During that period, the Republican Party--particularly in the Southern United States--was seen as more racially liberal than the Democratic Party, primarily because of the role of the southern wing of the Democratic Party as the party of racial segregation and the Republican Party's roots in the abolitionistmovement (see Dixiecrats). Blacks started to shift in significant numbers to the Democrats with the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt[12] and continued with the election of John F. Kennedy. This shift was also influenced by Herbert Hoover's practice of firing loyal African-Americans from positions within the Republican Party, in order to increase his appeal to Southern white voters.[13] This can be considered an early example of a set of Republican Party methods that were later termed the Southern Strategy.
