Hello,
Joseph Crespino, the author of Strom Thurmond's America describes the "massive resistance" campaign led by the Southern Democrats on Congress to racial integration in a tidy manner. Crespino's writing details "The image of Strom Thurmond as one of the Jim Crow South's greatest defenders-an image he so carefully-cultivated to solidifying his base and maintain his electoral viability." With this writing about Southern political history the author Crespino invites discussion among scholars and history students alike. This debate still rages on in many political circles to this day.
