The "Dixiecrats" or States' Rights Democratic Party split from the Southern wing of the Democratic Party over the issue of racial integration and was testing its political power in the 1948 Presidential election, nominating Strom Thurmond. Truman still managed to win over Thomas Dewey, who had been leading in the polls. The division among Southern Democrats would help lead to the two Republican victories by Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956.
The other party that split from the Democrats was the Progressive Party. Although they garnered nearly as many votes as the Dixiecrats, they won no electoral votes.
