The Confederacy line, for the former Confederacy, is between {fact:confed_far_min} and {fact:confed_far_1924} in every election from 1892 to 1944 except 1928, drops to {fact:confed_far_1976} in 1976 and is {fact:confed_far_2024} in 2024. The line for the rest of the US never exceeds {fact:rest_far_max} in an election before 2016 that is not a third-party year, falls to {fact:rest_far_1976} in 1976 and is {fact:rest_far_2024} in 2024. A second view splits the country into five regions.",
