What was the significance of a number of conservative democrats changing their party affiliation beginning in 1964?

1 answer:

6 0

Democrats had been losing elections in what had long been considered solid Democratic territory in the South. Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat who took up the presidency after John F. Kennedy was assassinated, had become associated in the minds of voters with the civil rights movement. The civil rights movement aimed to give black Americans equality. This did not sit well with white voters in the South. In the 1964 presidential election, the Republican candidate, Barry Goldwater, won the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Nevertheless, Johnson prevailed and won the election. But it showed conservative Democrats were willing to shift to the Republican party if they felt it more closely aligned with their views.

xenn [34]

A Tariff is additional set of expense that the companies from foreign country need to pay before they can sell their products into our local market.

The illegal event that constituted the start of the french revolution was when the third estate declared itself

Alborosie

The National Assembly of France.

This was illegal according to the laws of the time, but the 3rd Estate was declaring those laws and rules as a system that opposed the will and well-being of the people of France.

The old laws on the books said that when a gathering of the Estates General occurred, each of the three estates met separately and each group had one collective vote (the consensus of the whole group) as their final vote. The 1st Estate (clergy) and 2nd Estate (nobility), representing 2% of the population total, would combine their votes in opposition to the vote of the 3rd Estate (the common people). The 3rd Estate essentially declared that they, 98% of the nation, were the nation and that their delegates thus were the National Assembly.

There's more to the story than that, but we'll keep it brief here for now!
