When did the "working class" abandon the Democrat party? Is it a 21st century phenomenon, as pundits are currently claiming, or did it happen as the Democratic party moved to expand New Deal progress to black people during the Civil Rights movement?

In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Van Helsing is constantly going back and forth between Amsterdam and Whitby, sometimes within 24 hours. Was that common for the time or was the good doctor on an advanced (for the time) ship?

When Rutherford B. Hayes was at Kenyon College 1838-39, he played "ball" most mornings from 7-9 am when weather permitted. Was this some sort of proto-baseball, or an informal sport that we have no record of? Why would it be played so early in the morning?
