* Note: After the
southern states seceded from the USA in 1860 and 1861, most
of their Representatives and Senators left the U.S. Congress
and formed the Confederate Congress. Most of them were
Democrats, so the numbers of Republicans and Democrats in
the U.S. Congress is skewed by the absence of those southern
Democrats.
**Note: During the Grant
Administration, the Southern states slowly re-applied for
admission to the Union. The period from the end of the Civil
War to the point at which all southern states were
re-admitted to the Union is called "Reconstruction." During
this time, the U. S. Army basically ran the South and helped
ensure that freed slaves were allowed to vote and hold
office. As a result of this, many Republican congressmen
were elected through the enforcement of electoral laws
allowing Blacks to vote. Most of the freed slaves naturally
voted for the Republican Party; "the party of Lincoln."
After the Army was withdrawn in 1877, election laws were
changed in the South to make it much more difficult, if not
impossible, for Blacks to vote. As a result, the Democratic
Party gained control of the southern states and their
congressional delegations.
