Why did the conservative southern democrats eventually reassert their control throughout much of the South?
In respect to the post-Civil War era in America, the most direct answer to the question why conservative Southern Democrats eventually reasserted their control throughout much of the South is this: they believed their political vision for society to be superior to any other. It should be noted that the particular visions of some Southern Democrats were more inclusive than others; however, it was the White-centric policy of the majority that eventually won out in most Southern states.
Did Democrats support the Reconstruction?
AnswerYes, very actively before and during the Civil War. After the war of course there was no slavery to support, but the Dixiecrats were solidly against equal rights for former slaves. It wasn't until John Kennedy and the 1960s that the Democrats began supporting racial integration and equality. ^The above answer has some facts correct but it is missing a few details.While there is no doubt that the Republicans overwhelmingly opposed slavery, the Democrats were less strong on a position. The Northern Democrats sided with president Lincoln and supported the abolishment of slavery, while the majority of the Southern Democrats (barring a couple of exceptions like Andrew Johnson who was the vice president of Lincoln) supported slavery/opposed the abolishment of slavery. This caused deep divisions within the Democratic Party.Also, you should note that back then there really was no "liberal" and "conservative" parties, in fact the South was the major stronghold for the Democrats while the North East (New England) area was prominently Republican. A stark contrast to the political strongholds of today.

A Democrat and a Republican are party members. Currently Democrats believe in a strong central Government that should control all items the society. Republicans were fairly conservative until recently. There new ideas and views seem to fall fairly close to the Democrats. A liberal believes that all things should be regulated and controlled by the Government. They believe that the Federal Government should have absolute control over the States. A Conservative believes that we should have fairly limited Government. That the States are often more capable to determining our best interests then the Feds. A Libertarian is an ultra conservative. They believe that the Feds and State should be VERY limited. Drugs, for example, should be legal. It should be your responsibility to stay away from them and the Government should not be a babysitter. They also believe that the Government should not supply you with money when you retire or if you screw up your life. They are the total freedom people of the list above. To put the list on a scale you have Liberals that believe you should have zero roights and supplied everything on the far left, Democrats that are almost there, Republicans which are almost there now, and liberatarians at the far right that believe in total freedom and rights. The further left, the more freebies, the furher right the more freedom and less freebies.
Is the LA Times liberal or conservative?
Yes and no. Its editorial page has a tendency to lean liberal (it should be noted that this was not always the case), but its reporting is generally objective. Many conservatives like to insist the Times is liberal because of its opinion columnists, but the majority of newspapers separate their opinion pages from the rest of the newspaper-- for example, the Wall Street Journal's opinion pages are quite conservative and Republican, whereas the rest of the paper tends to be fairly objective business reporting. The same is true for the Times: it has some famous liberal commentators (and some famous conservative commentators too) but its reporting is known for being centrist.
