Why did the Progressives and Dixiecrats bolt from the Democratic Party in 1948?
The Progressives did not bolt from the Democratic Party in 1948. They were actually an increasingly dominant part of the Democratic party in the 1950s and 1960s. The Dixiecrats bolted because the Democratic Party was becoming increasingly race-neutral (i.e. not racist). This alienated a number of southern Democrats (who called themselves Dixiecrats) who felt that their view of the South and the future of the nation could not be properly dealt with by a race-neutral Democratic party.

Why did progressives and dixiecrats boltthe Democratic Party in 1948?
During the 1948 presidential election, southern Democrats, known as 'Dixiecrats,' chose to leave the party because of its civil rights policy. It had evolved from its earlier pro-slavery leanings to become more race friendly, and the Dixiecrats didn't like that. They wanted to start a new party that focused on states rights. The Progressives didn't bolt from the party, in fact, they were a separate party, when formed in 1946. The would eventually merge with the Democratic party.
