Answer: B. White wage earners from both the North and South were increasingly voting Republican instead of Democrat
Explanation: Nixon campaigned on a platform designed to reach the majority of middle class and working class Americans from both the North and South. He promised to unify the country and many Americans, weary after years of antiwar and civil rights protests, looked forward to an era of peace.
