[[Image:1968 PresidentialElection.jpg|right|thumb|400px|1968 electoral map. [[The South]] was carried by Democrat Gov. Geo. Wallace of Alabama who ran on a 3rd party. In 1972 Nixon carried every state in the Union except [[Massachusetts]] against a radical extreme socialist. Massachusetts was the home state of Nixon's 1960 presidential rival, [[John Kennedy]].]]

The '''Southern strategy''' is a [[Democrat]] [[conspiracy theory]] that alleges [[Richard Nixon]] carried Southern states in the [[1968 presidential election]] in the wake of the [[bi-partisan]] [[1964 Civil Rights Act]]. In fact, [[the South]] was carried by Democrat [[renegade]] [[George C. Wallace]]. In 1972, the Democrats for the first time in 40 years did not have a Southern on the ticket, and Southerners overwhelming rejected two Northern [[liberal]]s at the top of their ticket. In 1976, 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2012 the South returned to the Democrat fold. After the end of [[Jim Crow]] laws in the mid 1960s, the South became increasingly Republican as it became less racist. The [[War on Poverty]] enticed Blacks onto the [[Democrat plantation]].
