History
2 answers:
ollegr [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: He said a press that is free to investigate and criticize the government is absolutely essential in a nation that practices self-government and is therefore dependent on an educated and enlightened citizenry. On the other hand, newspapers too often take advantage of their freedom and publish lies and scurrilous gossip that could only deceive and mislead the people. Jefferson himself suffered greatly under the latter kind of press during his presidency. But he was a great believer in the ultimate triumph of truth in the free marketplace of ideas, and looked to that for his final vindication.

They decided to form a new party, called <em>Dixiecrats</em>, an extremely (racially) conservative party. They even <em>intended to reach the White House</em>, naming a presidential candidate in 1948, however, they <em>did not successed</em>.
