Exactly as the title says. In the aftermath of Civil War, as I understand history, and I could be radically wrong, the Democratic Party emerged with a somewhat injured reputation, thanks in part to the belief that many in the party were guilty of having sympathized with the rebellion. Again, it's been awhile since I've studied the period so I apologize for ignorance. My question is, is there any set of circumstances after 1865 but before 1900 that would have ended the history of the party of Jackson, or at least have led to a name change?
I know, this is probably really unworkable, but it'd be interesting to see what other party could have emerged to take the place of the Democrats.
