This paper examines the rise of George Corley Wallace on the national
political scene. The 1968 election is placed in its social, economic

a third party candidate are explained. There is a detailed analysis
of Wallace's support in the 1968 campaign. The economic, social,
political, geographical and attitudinal backgrounds of Wallaceites are
examined. The causes of Wallace's decline are itemized and the impact
he and his supporters have had on American politics are evaluated.
