Question

1. what was a characteristic of the 1938 congressional elections?

democratic losses in the senate, but not the house
republican wins in the house, but not the senate
northern states going back to voting republican
southern states voting republican instead of democratic

Explanation:

The 1938 midterm elections saw a backlash against President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies. Northern voters, who had supported Democrats in prior elections, shifted back to the Republican Party, leading to GOP gains in both chambers of Congress. Democrats lost seats in both the House and Senate, so the first two options are incorrect. The Solid South (southern states voting Democratic) remained intact in 1938, so the final option is wrong.

Answer:

northern states going back to voting Republican
