How was Strom Thurmond's time as governor of South Carolina significant as the
state's politics changed?
Republicans in South Carolina's legislature convinced Thurmond to issue an
executive order integrating public schools.
With the Democrats failing to support segregation in South Carolina, Thurmond
reorganized the state's Dixiecrat Party.
Thurmond took a strong stance against any changes to the state government's
policy concerning race relations.
Thurmond promoted more funding for black schools and condemned violence
against African Americans in the state.
