[[Image:D-Edge-Congress.JPG|thumb|Before 1932 Republicans usually controlled Congress; after 1932 the Democrats usually were in control]]
The '''New Deal Coalition''' is a political coalition, which was created by [[Franklin Roosevelt]] in the 1930s. It included [[Democratic party]] organizations, [[Chicago|big city machines]], [[labor union]]s, [[minorities]] (racial, ethnic and religious, especially [[Blacks]], [[Catholic]]s and [[Jew]]s), [[liberal]] farm groups, [[intellectuals]], the Mountain West, and the white [[The South|South]]. It was opposed by the [[Conservative Coalition]] of northern [[Republican]]s and southern Democrats. The New Deal Coalition dominated [[presidential election]]s from 1932 through 1964 (even including the two that Republican Eisenhower won). It lost control of [[Congress]] in 1937, but in a "last hurrah" controlled Congress and the [[White House]] during the "[[Great Society]]" of Democratic President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]. The coalition fell apart after 1966 but it remains the model that Democratic party activists seek to replicate.
