After Reconstruction, Florida, like many Southern states, became a Democratic - controlled state. This was due to the legacy of the Civil War and Reconstruction, where the Republican Party was associated with the Union and the end of slavery. In the South, there was a strong backlash against Republican rule during Reconstruction. Over time, the Democratic Party maintained control in Florida through various means such as voter suppression (e.g., poll taxes, literacy tests) that disproportionately affected African - Americans (who were more likely to support the Republican Party at the time). This Democratic control in Florida lasted until the 1990s when political realignments, including the movement of more conservative Democrats to the Republican Party (especially in the context of national political trends like the Civil Rights Movement and subsequent conservative reactions), started to change the political landscape.
