Best Answer

The conservative coalition in Congress was a union between southern Democrats (dixiecrats) and Republicans in Congress aimed at either blocking or weakening President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. The coalition controlled much of Congress' policy direction from 1937 until 1968 when many of the Dixiecrats began to switch over to the Republican Party (mainly due to the Democratic Parties support of Civil Rights).

The conservative coalition in Congress refers to an informal group of conservative lawmakers from both the Republican Party and occasionally some Democrats who come together to advance conservative policy goals. This coalition typically advocates for limited government, lower taxes, free markets, and traditional social values. They work together to promote conservative legislation and support conservative candidates in elections.
