dbpprop:abstract
  • In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a purported Republican method of winning Southern states in the latter decades of the 20th century and first decade of the 21st century by exploiting opposition among the segregationist South to desegregation and Civil Rights, and the cultural upheaval of New Left, Vietnam protests, and the Hippie culture. Some analysts think widespread demographic shifts and the election of Barack Obama as president in 2008 are signs that the Southern strategy is declining in significance.
