For the first time since Reconstruction, they gained control of a majority of national seats and governorships. Yet, despite these impressive gains, southern Republicans control only three of twenty-two state legislative chambers and 37 percent of state legislative seats. Joseph A. Aistrup addresses why this divergence between the national and subnational levels persists even after GOP national landslides in 1972, 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1994.Explanations for this divergence lie in the interaction between the Republicans' ElectionsSouthern StatesSouthern StatesPolitics and government1951-Elections324.2734/0975/09045Aistrup Joseph A.1960-1485468MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787380003321The southern strategy revisited3704619UNINA
