The '''Conservative Coalition''' was a group of senators and representatives in the U.S. Congress that brought together the majority of the Northern [[Republicans]] and a conservative, mostly Southern minority of the [[Democrats]]. The coalition usually defeated the liberals of the [[New Deal Coalition]]; it largely controlled Congress from 1937 to 1963. It gained significant traction after sharp backlash against President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s attempt to [[court packing|pack the Supreme Court]], with many who once supported Roosevelt becoming increasing opposed to his policies. The coalition continued as a potent force until the 1990s when most of the conservative southern Democrats were replaced by southern Republicans.
