Prior to the [[Reagan Realignment]] (after which point the [[Democratic Party]] became the "[[liberal]]" party, and the [[Republican Party]] the "[[conservative]]" party), the [[Democratic Party]] was the party of the South - it overwhelmingly controlled the South.  In this era, the [[Democratic Party]] was responsible for a good deal of racist legislation, and was perceived to be connected to the Klan.  '''However, such a causal connection is over fifty years old and the Klan bears no connection with any modern mainstream political party.'''<ref>Earl Black, ''The Vital South: How Presidents are Elected'' (1992, Harvard University Press)</ref><ref>Earl Black, ''The Rise of Southern Republicans'' (2002, Harvard University Press)</ref>
