United States [2] the poll taxes found in other Southern states due to the strength of populism amongst the state’s white settlers,[3] the southeast and the northwestern Plains.
However, despite being less stridently isolationist than states further north in the Great Plains,[4] [5] Tennessee , for the first break in the “Solid South” since Reconstruction . The Republicans also elected a Senator and five Congressmen, so strong was the hostility towards Wilson.[6]

up in the hostility towards President Wilson and his various foreign policy proposals as well as his inability to deal with large scale domestic conflict 5 In early polls this was thought insufficient to split the state from the Solid South but as it turned out a large swing caused the Democrats to lose the state alongside Tennessee for the first break in the Solid South since Reconstruction The
