What is Massachusetts People and Politics, 1919–1933 about?

The transformation of Massachusetts from a Republican stronghold into an essentially Democratic state in the 1920s was a result of the political “coming of age” of America’s new frontier of factories, cities, and mixed populations.Joseph Huthmacher analyzes the influences which have changed the Massachusetts of the elder Henry Cabot Lodge and Calvin Coolidge into that of John F. Kennedy and Foster Furculo. Essentially, that transformation involved a union of the Massachusetts Irish Democrats with other newer ethnic groups which have come to count so heavily in the Bay State’s population in the twentieth century.In part the union was due to the failure of President Coolidge’s own state to share in the “Republican” prosperity of the 1920s, but more important was the violent postwar epidemic of ethnic and religious intolerance which swept old-stock America. Appealing against such issues as restricted immigration, “100 per cent Americanism,” and Prohibition, the basically Irish Democratic Party of Massachusetts gradually won the allegiance of other minority groups to form a Newer American voting bloc which in 1928 tore Massachusetts from the Republican column in a presidential election
