4. Congratulations!

I hope it sells well! History helps us prevent mistakes in the future. Those who don't read are the poorer for it, and a drag on society.

5. Put it on my wish list.

Good luck, political history is so interesting.

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.

I’ve been interested in the GOP’s gradual purge of its Black leadership over the decades.

14. The Lily-White Republicans started in Texas in the 1880s.

Hubert Hoover was a Lily-White Republican, which contributed to him winning in the South. I talk about the Lil-White Republicans a little in my book because they were definitely a contributing factor to political realignment.

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

15. Yes, the term "Lily-White Republicans" was coined by Texas GOP Chair Norris Cuney.

Cuney, an African American, was elected Texas GOP chair in 1886 and fought the Texas and National Lily White Republicans until they finally purged him in 1896. His daughter published his biography.

16. Congratulations! Just now ordered book.

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.
