Whistling Dixie
Making New Deal Citizens in the Rural South
Disturbed by the social and political consequences of the hypermobility of tenants and sharecroppers, and convinced that landless and homeless farmers made poor citizens, Congress created the tenant purchase program, to be housed in the Farm Security Administration. This article takes a deep dive into the program's loan application process and argues that successful applicants not only had to prove themselves to be competent farmers; they also ha…

In early 1965, as President Lyndon Johnson initiated sustained bombing of North Vietnam and contemplated dispatching several hundred thousand troops to southeast Asia, rural Tennessee resident Mrs. Yarboro E. Salley wrote to Senator Albert Gore to voice her support for Johnson’s decision to escalate the conflict. The reasons for her pro-war stance were unambiguous.

The Dixiecrat Revolt and the End of the Solid South, 1932-1968
Few readers curious about conservative trends in the recent past would think of starting with Walter Sillers Jr., as Kari Frederickson does in this book, which began as a dissertation at Rutgers University.
