  The UNC Press, The Dixiecrat Revolt and the End of the Solid South, 1932-1968 by Kari Frederickson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The UNC Press, The Dixiecrat Revolt and the End of the Solid South, 1932-1968 by Kari Frederickson
Frederickson situates the Dixiecrat movement within the tumultuous social and economic milieu of the 1930s and 1940s South, tracing the struggles between conservative and liberal Democrats over the future direction of the region.
Enriching her sweeping political narrative with detailed coverage of local activity in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina--the flashpoints of the Dixiecrat campaign--she shows that, even without upsetting Truman in 1948, the Dixiecrats forever altered politics in the South.

 Solid Waste
The South Carolina Solid Waste Policy Management Act of 1991 was enacted to help protect public health and the environment from the millions of tons of solid waste generated South Carolina each year.
Therefore, the solid waste fee is not a direct tax on the federal government, and there is no requirement the fee be passed along to the consumer (government).
An exemption from the solid waste excise fee imposed on motor oil and similar lubricants is provided for in the law to "for hire motor carriers" who purchase lubricating oils not for resale for use in their fleets.

 The South Korean solid wood products market Construction Review - Find Articles
South Korea has much of the agricultural land of the Korean peninsula, but very little of the natural resources.
In the 1960s, the South Korean plywood industry expanded rapidly and its products, mostly export items, were a significant part of South Korea's trade.
Recent South Korean wood consumption growth has been spurred by increased use in interior construction finishing, temporary supports for public and private sector construction and civil works projects, furniture and musical instruments, packaging, and shipbuilding; as well as raw materials for the fast-growing domestic paper and allied products industry.

 COMMENTARY: Can Dems crack the Solid South?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In 1952 Eisenhower began the Republican rise in the South, winning 65 electoral votes from Florida, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Much academic and journalistic energy has been expended attempting to prove that Republicans became competitive in the South not because of positive change there but because of a negative change in the GOP — pandering to racists.
As Democrats embrace Kerry because of his "electability," and as he ponders a strategy — including a running mate — for assembling 270 electoral votes, they and he should understand this: Their Southern problem is rooted not in regnant racism but in the region's increasingly individualistic, optimistic, entrepreneurial and religious culture.

 The solid new South: bipartisan conservative coalitions have spread across a region that packs a big political punch ...
The South of yore, which could be expected to give a Democratic presidential candidate a clean sweep, is long gone.
That is because once-sacred party lines have blurred, and solid conservative coalitions have spread across the 11 states of the old Confederacy.
The South as the Census Bureau defines it embraces the District of Columbia and 16 states: Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Oklahoma (none of which were in the Confederacy), as well as Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas.

 H102 Lecture 02: The "Old South"
The South was never monolithic - it has never had a monopoly on racism, violence, or one-party-politics.
The term "Solid South" refers to the fact that no Republican presidential candidate carried a Southern state in the elections between 1877-1920.
When pressed to define exactly what "South" or "East" or "Midwest" means, we run into difficulties, as regions of the country are culturally, economically, and historically complex.

 H-Net Review: Gordon E Harvey on Democracy Heading South: National Politics in the Shadow of Dixie
By examining current national political trends through the historical lens of Solid South politics, Cochran argues that current national politics have come to reflect the worst of the Solid South: elections that were "empty, issueless affairs at one level and, at another, maniacally focused on a single issue: white supremacy.
What Cochran views in modern America is little different, in his view, than the condition that prevailed in the Solid South, namely a decline in the "vigor" of political parties as instruments of popular will, the failure of political parties to "ensure coherence and accountability in national politics" (p.
The Solid South to Cochran is a case study of what happens to political structures "that cannot sustain healthy party competition, nor nurture widespread public participation, nor resist the temptation to exacerbate prejudices and ethnic and racial animosities for electoral advantage rather than solving problems plaguing the polity" (p.

Prior to the 1960s, the South was known as the "solid South" because Southern states voted consistently for the Democratic Party.
The solid South crumbled slowly -- there was a break in 1948 with Strom Thurmond's States Rights Party and there was a break in 1964, when Barry Goldwater carried the deep South states and Arizona.
I don't claim that the South is more important than California or New York (though collectively it is, simply because it is larger).
