 U.S. presidential election, 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. presidential election of 1964 occurred in the aftermath of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.
Because states like Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia had not voted Republican in any presidential election since Reconstruction, this was a major transition point for the South, and an important step in the process by which the Democrats' former "Solid South" became a Republican bastion.
The election was held on November 3, 1964.

The 1964 presidential election gave voters one of the most dramatic contrasts in the positions of candidates in many years.
After Goldwater's nomination, one of Johnson's major decisions in the 1964 campaign was his choice of Hubert Humphrey as a running mate over Robert F. Kennedy, his slain predecessor's brother and Attorney General.
Succeeding to the presidency upon the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson used the Kennedy legacy, as well as his own political skills honed during his tenure in the Senate, to push for civil rights legislation and the social programs of the "Great Society" and the "War on Poverty".

 Amazon.ca: Books: Liberalism's Last Hurrah: The Presidential Campaign of 1964
The day after the 1964 presidential election, James Reston wrote, "Barry Goldwater not only lost the presidential election yesterday, but the conservative cause as well.
As he convincingly argues, the 1964 election marked the apex of liberalism, which would soon fatally overextend itself with the Great Society, and heralded the rise of conservative Republicans, who would commandeer their party and ultimately seize the White House.
Donaldson touches on other elements of the 1964 race-civil rights, the role of George Wallace, Johnson's rivalry with Robert Kennedy-but Goldwater's conservatives pulse at the heart of this story, which offers a sharp and penetrating analysis of a movement on the cusp of power.

In March 1964, after a major Presidential address on the U.S. commitment to the Alliance, The New York Times reported that Mann advocated a new policy, the "Mann doctrine," under which the countries of Latin America would be judged on what they did to further American interests rather than the interests of their own people.

Nor is it that racial politics took on clear and enduring partisan hues after the 1964 election.
The contentiousness comes from their claim that 1964 stands alone as the historical marker of change in racial attitudes, and that as a singular turning point, takes only the 1958 Senate election as its precursor.
The commitment of the Democratic Party in 1964 to the cause of civil rights, and the opposition of Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, set in motion a larger political process.

On September 4, 1970, Allende won a plurality in Chile's presidential election, Since no candidate had received a majority of the popular vote, the Chilean Constitution required that a joint session of its Congress decide between the first- and second-place finishers.
The groundwork for the election was laid early in 1961 by establishing operational relationships with key political parties and by creating propaganda and organizational mechanisms capable of influencing key sectors of the population.

 Welcome to The American Presidency
The party's leader in the Senate, Ernest McFarland of Arizona, had been defeated in the election of 1952, and Johnson's years of legislative experience and his connections with most factions of the party recommended him for the post.
In 1964, Congress had been closely divided on the more controversial and liberal measures in Johnson's legislative program; now a clear majority was ready to vote for them.
Frustrated in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1960, Johnson settled for the vice presidency under John F. Kennedy and contributed significantly to the ticket's victory that fall.

 Why Goldwater Lost
The 1964 election cycle was characterized by arguably the most negative campaigning ever seen in American politics.
  The prize was far greater than a single presidential election, as it involved the direction in which the nation could shift well into the future.
  Goldwater could be awkward at times, and his election to the Senate could be attributed more to Eisenhower than his own political ability.

In 1970, Salvador Allende Gossens, head of the Popular Unity party, a coalition of leftist political parties, won a plurality of votes in the presidential election and became the first Marxist to be elected president by popular vote in Latin America.
During this time the British expatriot Lord Cochrane, commanding the Chilean navy, cleared (1819–20) the coast of Spanish shipping, and in 1826 the remaining royalists were driven from Chiloé island, their last foothold on Chilean soil.
