Dixiecratic Party

The Southern Democratic Party (Dixiecrats) is one of three major contemporary parties in the United States, along with its rivals, the American Liberal Party, and the Business Interests United Party. It was founded by Lucas Darwin in 1947.

The party generally supports centrist economic and very conservative social policies. The party is a far-right, nationalist party that favors states' rights. The party is opposed to the New Deal, established by Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s. It is considered to be to the right of both the ALP and the BIUP.

The SDP did not nominate anyone for President in 1948 but supported and endorsed the BIU ticket, which had Southern Democrat Samuel Davis as the VP nominee.
