The Civil War marked one of the great points in American history by demonstrating how deeply the nation was divided on the basis of politics and region. The presidential election of 1896 may also be seen as a major dividing along political and regional lines. To what degree does this continued division suggest continuity over time or change? Simply because the divisions persist in appearance, do they necessarily exist for the same reason? What developments over the years contributed to this difference between the regions that shows up so starkly in political terms? To what degree did the emergence of an urban, industrial and wage-dependent labor force alter the American social and political landscape?

The Southern U.S. is and has been more religious than other parts of the country. That was true in 1861, and is true today. Therefore, the south, as a region, is more conservative and traditional in it's politics. The emergence of a strong centralized government (a result of a Union victory in the War Between the States) and the centralization and industrialization of manufacturing had little effect on southern politics. A wage-dependent work force, and the rise of labor unions had more effect on northern regions where manufacturing was paramount and less effect on an agricultual south.

Simple people in rural area's of the country have different politics than people from Urban areas of this country. Simply because they have different needs, wants, and beliefs.
