Well done...two years in the making, that is wonderful.
UPDATE:
Placed it on my shopping cart...My kids gave me some golf stuff I already had for father's day, so I sent it back, got a gift certificate, so I am buying books instead, yours is #5 on the list, once I get enough books to use the certificate I will click on the purchase button.

This is an interesting chart, but I wonder in the Jim Crow South if it was more about racism than party affiliation.

(7,579 posts)I'm thrilled to be able to read this. My father was most politically active during the 40's --- I can remember him scornfully referring to the "Dixiecrats"! At the time I was too young to understand what was going on, so hopefully your book will fill in the memory gaps of the era for me.
