Explanation:

Compared to this staggering sum, the colonists' debts were extremely light, as was their tax burden.

Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats used ideas of freedom to justify their positions on civil rights and race by advocating states' rights. Since the government at the time was giving minorities more rights, the Dixiecrats argued that the federal government should let the states be free to make their own individual policies. This would also let businesses be free to hire whomever they choose.
