Ever since the passage of a new constitution in 1898, Louisiana had been a one-party state dominated by the Democratic Party. The Republican Party became moribund due to the disenfranchisement of Black people and the complete absence of other support bases as Louisiana completely lacked upland or German refugee whites opposed to secession.Phillips Kevin P. The Emerging Republican Majority November 23, 2014 208, 210 Princeton University Press 9780691163246 Despite this absolute single-party dominance, non-partisan tendencies remained strong among wealthy sugar planters in Acadiana and within the business elite of New Orleans.Schott Matthew J.

During the first term of Roosevelt, Long sought to capture the Presidency for himself under a “Share-Our-Wealth” program involving the confiscation of wealthy fortunes, family allowances, and government storage of agricultural surpluses.Sindler Allan P.

Huey Long’s Louisiana, pp. 90-95 However, Long's assassination in 1935 meant he could not launch any presidential campaign. Although the sugar parishes did oppose incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s tariff policy strongly, with the result that frequently rebellious Assumption and Lafourche Parishes showed a strong swing to Republican nominees Governor Alf Landon and veteran Illinois operative Frank Knox, Louisiana was won by Roosevelt and Vice President John Nance Garner, with 88.82 percent of the popular vote, against Landon’s 11.16 percent.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?f=0&fips=22&year=1936 1936 Presidential General Election Results — Louisiana January 15, 2019https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/showelection.php?year=1936 The American Presidency Project — Election of 1936 January 15, 2019 By percentage of the popular vote won, Louisiana was Roosevelt's third-best state, behind only South Carolina (98.57 percent) and Mississippi (97.06 percent).
