J. Strom Thurmond  

Définition

  • In 1948, very early in his long political career, J. Strom Thurmond (1902–) of South Carolina ran for president as the candidate of the Dixiecrats, a group of southern Democrats who did not like their party's endorsement of civil rights legislation. Thurmond captured four southern states (Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina), thirty-nine electoral votes (including one in Tennessee even though the state went Democratic), and more than 22 percent of the popular vote in the South.
