Miles, do you really think that is still the result of reconstruction?
I cannot begin to count the times that I have heard people here say. My Daddy was a Democrat, and my Grand Daddy was a Democrat, and my Great Grand Daddy was a Democrat, so by God I will vote Democrat as long as I am alive. This was because the Lincoln and the Re-construction was Republican. This runs deeper than you can imagine, if you are not from here. miles
Miles, I'm not from your neck of the woods, but I have heard that same sentiment regarding Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad voting democrat....here in Michigan. It is not confined to the south. Again, is it really still because of reconstruction, or is it simple political stupidity? That is, is the 30 year old guy/gal voting for democrats because of the civil war, or simply because that is what the family has always done? How many 30 year old voters in your state, or mine, know that Lincoln was a Republican? I would bet not many. Heck, most of them probably couldn't name Davis or Lincoln as being involved.
