In this lecture, Professor Iwan Morgan (University College London) thinks about the transformation of the Democratic Party between 1933-45, focusing in particular on: (i) the party’s relative lack of electoral success in the decades prior to Roosevelt; (ii) the Democratic Party’s traditional support in the South, a legacy of the US Civil War (1861-65); (iii) the different groups of people that are attracted to the Democratic Party following the New Deal, including trade unions, woman and ethnic minorities; (iv) the tension that emerges between the party’s traditional (southern, conservative) wing and its new (urban, liberal) wing; (v) the tension that emerges between the Democratic Party in Congress (dominated by southern conservatives) and the White House; (vi) Roosevelt’s attempt to ‘purge’ the party of conservatives in 1938, and the reaction of conservatives in the party; and (vi) the impact of Roosevelt’s victory in the 1940 presidential election.
