But after his inauguration, he became a segregationist. #2 In the 1950s, many Southern politicians began to shift to the right on race, as the pressure of black equality began to destabilize the political culture of white supremacy. #3 Wallace realized that he could exploit the widespread animosity towards blacks. He began speaking about states’ rights and federal overreach, and his supporters began sending him congratulatory telegrams across the country. #4 Wallace ran for president as a third-party candidate in 1964, and then again in 1968, 1972, and 1976. He was quick to adopt and use racial demagoguery.
