Dixiecrats, formally known as the States' Rights Democratic Party, emerged in 1948 as a splinter group from the Democratic Party in response to the civil rights platform advocated by national Democrats. They were significant because they highlighted the deep racial divisions in the United States and the resistance to desegregation, particularly in the South. Their existence underscored the tensions between federal civil rights initiatives and states' rights, influencing Southern politics for decades. The Dixiecrats' stance also foreshadowed the eventual realignment of political parties in the U.S. regarding race and civil rights.
