Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The New Deal Coalition was most closely associated with the fifth-party system, which lasted from 1932-1968. This was a period dominated by the Democratic Party, which built a broad coalition of urban workers, minorities, farmers, and progressive intellectuals who supported the policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. The coalition began to fracture in the late 1960s over issues such as civil rights and opposition to the Vietnam War, leading to the emergence of the sixth-party system.
