FROM ONE PARTY TO TWO, 1965-1994; Conclusion; Notes; Bibliography; IndexSurveying the entire span of southern political history, Michael Perman takes a revealing and wide-ranging approach to the region's politics. During the nineteenth century, the South experienced nearly continuous political crisis from nullification through secession, war, and Reconstruction, concluding with the disfranchisement campaigns at century's end. The struggle for power took a different form in the twentieth century, as the South's political class forged the Solid South and then maneuvered to perpetuate its control within the region and its influence within the nation.BPolitical cultureSouthern StatesHistory19th centuryPolitical cultureSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryPolitical partiesSouthern StatesHistory19th centuryPolitical partiesSouthern StatesHistory20th centurySouthern StatesPolitics and government19th centurySouthern StatesPolitics and government20th centuryPolitical cultureHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryPolitical partiesHistoryPolitical partiesHistory306.20975Perman Michael532586MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785338203321Pursuit of unity3758992UNINA
