What happened to the American party system due to the Democratic Party as led by President Lyndon Johnson supporting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965?
The Democratic Party, under President Lyndon Johnson, transformed the American party system by aligning itself with the civil rights movement through the support of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This commitment to civil rights led to a significant realignment, as many white Southern voters, who had traditionally supported Democrats, shifted their allegiance to the Republican Party. Consequently, the Democratic Party became more associated with progressive social policies, while the Republican Party capitalized on the discontent among conservative voters in the South, reshaping the political landscape for decades. This shift marked a critical change in party identities and voter demographics in the United States.
