Description

Hey everyone! In episode 19, I'm joined by Dr. Virginia Summey (@HistorySummey), and independent historian and faculty fellow in the Lloyd International Honors College at the University of Norther Carolina-Greensboro, and we're talking about a VERY divisive topic in American political history: the Southern Strategy. We get into the background of the Southern Strategy, and why the Republican Party came to rely on it to swing races their way. We also talk about how population shifts, voting blocs, and the Civil Rights movement became powerful forces in the American political demography of the time. Oh, and we talk about Barry Goldwater, and more importantly, Dr. Summey's upcoming book! Hope you all enjoy. YDKH's theme music is by the musician Smith the Mister called "Beach Buggy."
