More about the book
The book offers an in-depth exploration of the South's tumultuous political landscape, highlighting key events like nullification, secession, and Reconstruction. It examines the dominance of the "Solid South" and the implications of a noncompetitive political environment. Perman argues that the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 marked a significant turning point, leading to the decline of the South's unique political identity and its longstanding quest for unity.
