Presidential party history and regional ties since 1865
The passage notes that since 1865 Presidents have largely been Northern Republicans or Democrats, with Forrest C. Donnell as a recent Republican ending in 1944. It suggests Woodrow Wilson, born in Virginia but tied to New Jersey, may be the closest link to the South, and claims Truman remains the incumbent in spirit and emotion, connected to Southern ties since the Civil War.
