The overall goal of Richard Nixon's southern strategy was to appeal to white voters in the South who were resistant to civil rights reforms. By using coded language and emphasizing Law and Order, Nixon aimed to win over conservative Southern Democrats and solidify support for the Republican Party in the region. This strategy helped him secure the presidency in 1968 and 1972.
