Abstract
This paper examines the rise of George Corley Wallace on the national political scene. The 1968 election is placed in its social, economic and political context and the forces which enabled Wallace to run as 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.
