Tags: Political Party.

The States’ Rights Democratic Party (usually called the Dixiecrats) was a short-lived segregationist political party in the United States in 1948. It originated as a breakaway faction of the Democratic Party in 1948 determined to protect what they portrayed as the southern way of life beset by an oppressive federal government and supporters assumed control of the state Democratic parties in part or in full in several Southern states.
