Forging an electoral coalition of blue collar workers in the North and the Deep South, George Wallace is a figure who heralded a new style of politics which has continued after him. “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” George Wallace, Governor of Alabama, was one of the most successful third-party presidential candidates in American history. In 1968, he ran a populist campaign pitching himself against the Civil Rights movement. He pushed to uphold formal structures of white supremacy in the South, forever employing racist dog whistles at his rallies and in the media. He may not have won the presidency, but his approach paved the way for a new, incendiary brand of politics, which permeates American society to this day. 00:00 Introducing George Wallace 3:25 The backstory of George Wallace 4:00 'The Lost Cause' 5:15 Wallace as a student 6:50 Politics of Alabama 7:25 Race in Alabama 9:00 His wife 9:42 'Big Jim' 11:28 The first campaign 17:32 The 1963 Montgomery protests 20:52 The 1964 campaign 24:45 The governorship of his wife 30:05 Direct mail 31:33 The '68 campaign 42:10 Similarities between Wallace and Reagan 48:00 Dream scenario for his campaign 48:55 Things start to go wrong 50:20 Curtis LeMay 56:55 The home stretch of the campaign 1:00:20 Why George Wallace matters Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Video Editor: Jack Meek Social Producer: Harry Balden Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor
