Southern Democrats Rebel Over Civil Rights and Two-Thirds Rule
Southern anger at the Northern Democratic wing traces back 16 years to the 1930s and 1940s battles over civil rights and party rules. Gov. James Byrnes blasts city bosses for backing a socialistic platform, while critics say the party shifted away from Dixie interests after the two-thirds nominating rule was dropped. The revolt traces to 1944 bolting attempts and the 1946-48 era debates, with Truman’s civil rights commission fueling the discontent.
