Abstract

For several decades southern Democrats constituted a conservative bloc within the Democratic caucus in the House of Representatives. After the enfranchisement of southern blacks in the J 960s and the development of a two party system in the South, many southern Democratic representatives began to compile more moderate voting records. By the 1980s, some scholars were emphasizing the greater unity of the Democratic caucus. This paper examines regional differences among House Democrats in several policy areas. It is argued that, on most issues, the Southern Democratic delegation is still a distinctly conservative bloc within the Democratic caucus.

南方还与众不同吗?

几十年来，南方民主党人在众议院民主党党团会议中构成了一个保守集团。在20世纪60年代南方黑人获得选举权和南方两党制发展之后，许多南方民主党代表开始编制更温和的投票记录。到了20世纪80年代，一些学者开始强调民主党党团会议的更大团结。本文考察了众议院民主党人在几个政策领域的地区差异。有人认为，在大多数问题上，南方民主党代表团在民主党核心会议中仍然是一个明显的保守集团。
