Question

Who was elected as Georgia's governor four times in the 1930s and 1940s, advocated the "County Unit System" of primary voting, and was an outspoken critic of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Answer 1

Answer:

Eugene Talmadge

Explanation:

This was during the 20th century in the early 20's. In the 1930's Eugene Talmadge ran for Georgia governor five times. He won four. He served three and was, to put it mildly, quite a character.

The fierce segregationist hated President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, in part because it helped black Americans. When he died in 1946 after being elected to his fourth term, Time magazine said that few men had appealed so successfully to ignorance and bigotry.

Talmadge fired elected officials who resisted his authority. Others were thrown out of their offices. Literally. He ordered the board of regents to fire two University of Georgia professors who supported integration and Georgia’s colleges lost accreditation.
