In the era of 1990s, the Democratic Party made major attempts to court African American voters believing that the strength of religious values within the African American community. Unfortunately, it did not increase African American support for the Republican Party. Few of African Americans voted for George W. Bush and other national Republican candidates in the 2004 elections. although he got a higher percentage of black voters than had any GOP candidate.
Republican candidates mostly ignored black voters and even exploited racial tensions by the '70s and into the '80s and '90s.
Thomas Edge says that the election of President Barack Obama noticed a new type of Southern strategy emerge among conservative voters.
There are three most important points behind this diversion.
First, a nation that has the ability to elect a Black president is completely free of racism. Second, attempts to continue the remedies after the civil rights movement will only result in more racial discord, demagoguery, and racism against White Americans. Third, these tactics have been used side-by-side with the veiled racism and coded language of the original Southern Strategy.
1. The benefits of the industrialization in the Northeast can be mostly seen in the modernization of the region, as well as in the economic growth. This region of America was the one that was the most in touch with the newest technologies that were developing in Europe, thus it was more advanced technologically than the others. This led to rapid economic growth through the industry, making its economy relatively strong. The main problems were that the workers were having low wages, worked too much hours, and lived in terrible conditions, as well as the rapid urbanization that led to of problems in the housing department and all the basic needs for living, since it was rushed and not well planned.
2. Unfortunately, it was not everyone that had benefit from the economic growth of the region. The company owners, large land owners, bankers, all had huge benefit of it, and they became very powerful and rich, but they represented only a small fraction of the population. The majority of the population was struggling and lived in terrible conditions, with the poverty rates being very high despite the constant economic growth.
3. It is hard to tell did the benefits or the problems outweigh in this situation. From one side, the economy was growing stronger, and the region was modernized, which on the long run gave it big advantage in its development and became one of the most important places in the world. On the other side, the majority of the people didn't really saw anything from this modernization and economic development, but instead lived in bad conditions, and took quite some time for their standard of living to became descent.
