1860, 1948, and 1988. These dates changed the course of history. Abe Lincoln's election, Truman's election, and Duikakis election. The north went blue and the south went red due to the passage of the 14th amendment in the 1860's and due to the Strom Thurmond defection in 1948 which eventually lead to the end of Jim Crow in 1954 with the Brown v Board of Ed. And the final turning point came with Dukakis, coming off of the Equal Rights Amendment that failed in the Senate in 1984. That bill further alienated the South from the Democratic party and thus the transformation was complete.
