Summary
"This book tells the story of the Republican Party in the South from Reconstruction through the late-1960s. The history of the Grand Old Party (GOP) in the South during Reconstruction is fairly well known, as is its reemergence in the region during the Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon presidential campaigns in 1964 and 1968. What is not well known, however, is the period in between: what did the GOP in the South look like between the end of Reconstruction and before the modern 'Southern strategy'? A common assumption is that the Republican Party in the South all but disappeared after the demise of Reconstruction, and that it only reemerged when the national Democratic Party went "all in" on civil rights in the mid-1960s while the national Republican Party (led by Goldwater) largely rejected civil rights.1 Certainly, the Southern GOP achieved little electoral success in the region in this period. Yet, the Republican Party remained in existence in every state of the ex-Confederacy"--
