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?
