Description
The election of 1948 helped to bring about a dramatic turning
point in Florida politics. Prior to this time, Florida was arbitrarily
dominated by the Democratic party. This election is significant
because 1948 helped give rise to the reemergence of a two-party
political system in Florida. It was in 1948 that the Republicans
began their long rise out of obscurity. The Dixiecrats and Progressive
parties were also active in this campaign. This paper will examine
the activities of each of these four political parties within the
state during 1948 and attempt to show how this political rebirth contributed
to alter Florida politics.
