Answer 1

The 'Solid South' label was applied to the former Confederate States after Reconstruction because they consistently supported the Democratic Party.

Step-by-step explanation:

The label 'Solid South' was applied to the former Confederate States after Reconstruction because they consistently supported the Democratic Party.
