During the Gilded Age, if a Southern Black individual were allowed to vote, they would most likely support the Republican Party. Following the Civil War, the Republican Party was associated with the abolition of slavery and the protection of African American rights during Reconstruction. However, systemic barriers such as Jim Crow laws, literacy tests, and intimidation often suppressed Black voting in the South, significantly limiting their political participation.

There were 2 factions during the Gilded Age of the Republican Party. James G. Blaine and the Half-Breeds was one Republican Party faction during the Gilded Age. Roscoe Conkling and the Stalwarts were the other faction.
During the Gilded Age, political races were marked by intense partisanship and the rise of political machines, which manipulated voter turnout and leveraged corruption to maintain power. The period saw high levels of voter participation, often fueled by ethnic and regional loyalties, and the use of patronage systems to reward supporters. Additionally, issues such as economic inequality, labor rights, and industrialization shaped the political landscape, leading to a focus on reform movements and the eventual emergence of the Progressive Era. This era's political races were characterized by a complex interplay between local interests and national politics, reflecting the rapid social and economic changes of the time.
