The death of Georgia governor-elect Eugene Talmadge in late 1946
launched a constitutional crisis that ranks as one of the most
unusual political events in U.S. history: the state had three
active governors at once, each claiming that he was the true
elected official. This is the first full-length examination of that
episode, which wasn't just a crazy quirk of Georgia politics
(though it was that) but the decisive battle in a struggle between
the state's progressive and rustic forces that had continued since
the onset of the Great Depression. In 1946, rural forces aided by
the county unit system, Jim Crow intimidation of black voters, and
the Talmadge machine's "loyal 100,000" voters united to claim the
governorship. In the aftermath, progressive political forces in
Georgia would shrink into obscurity for the better part of a
generation. In this volume is the story of how the political,
governmental, and Jim Crow social institutions not only defeated
Georgia's progressive forces but forestalled their effectiveness
for a decade and a half.
