The 2020 Presidential Election in the South details how the 2020
presidential election developed in the twelve states of the South.
This edited volume features preeminent scholars of Southern
politics who analyze the momentous Election of 2020. In addition to
chapters organized by state, this volume also focuses upon the
issues that drove southern voters, the nominations process in early
2020, as well as a chapter focusing on where the region may be
headed politically in the next decade. In addition, each state
chapter includes analysis on notable congressional races and

contemporary changes in Southern electoral politics.

voters, the nomination process in early 2016, and where the region
may be headed politically in the Trump era. In addition, each state
chapter includes analysis on notable congressional races and
important patterns within the states. This new edited volume will
be an important tool for scholars, and also journalists and
political enthusiasts seeking a deeper understanding of

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.
Presidents and Place: America's Favorite Sons highlights the
interrelationship between America's leading political icons and
various facets of space and place, including places of birth and
death as well as regional allegiances, among others. Chapters
examine the legacy of relationships between presidents and place in
a variety of social and cultural forms, ranging from famous
political campaigns to television series to developments in
tourism. Beginning with the political iconography of New York's
Federal Hall in early eighteenth-century America and ending with a
focus on the Republican Party's electoral relationship with the
South, the interdisciplinary and methodologically diverse nature of
the chapters reveals that place has more than a biographical
significance in relation to US presidents.
