Governor George Wallace of Alabama was a staunch proponent of segregation due to his deep-rooted belief in white supremacy and states' rights. He viewed segregation as essential to maintaining social order and protecting what he perceived as the traditional Southern way of life. Wallace's political career was heavily influenced by the racial tensions of the time, and he used segregationist rhetoric to galvanize support among white voters, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement. His infamous stand in the schoolhouse door in 1963 symbolized his commitment to resisting federal intervention in state affairs regarding racial integration.

The tactics employed by Wallace were similar to what you could call 'Terrorist Tactics' today. The main reason was that Wallace, being only a minor knight, was unable to call many men to his banner, so guerrilla tactics were employed to carry out successful opposition.


Why did James Earl Ray kill Dr.Martin Luther King Jr?

James Earl Ray had attended a 'George Wallace presidential campaign rally' the day before he killed Martin Luther King Jr. George Wallace was extremely racist and segregationist. He had run for president on the Democratic ticket but could not become their candidate, so he ran as an Independent. George Wallace was Governor when he stood in the way of a public school as black students tried to enter after segregation was abolished. James Earl Ray was inspired by the Wallace's racist philosophy and rhetoric and decided to kill Martin Luther King Jr. As an aside, though the Democratic party once included segregationist Dixiecrats, most (but not all) of them abandoned the party during the civil rights era to become Independents or Republicans. Good example: Strom Thurmond.
