I wouldnt say parties switched as much as coalitions changed over time. What made the democratic party attractive to racists im the 1800s gradually faded as the party started to prioritize other issues. This allowed urban democrats to gain more and more power in the party until the Northeastern democrats and their issues became center stage.
There's nothing here!
