Democratic party. They fell out of power in the south with the election of Jimmy Carter. His adminstrations poor handling of domestic issues and double digit inflation rate coupled with high taxes disillusioned the conservative south which turned to the Republican Ronald Reagan in record numbers in the next election. They have been there ever since.

Democrats lost it in the south in the 1970s to 1980s, largely as a result of federal civil rights legislation.
