Summary
Civil rights was the most successful formative movement in American history, which stretched from the campaign against lynching in the early 20th century to the alliance with the labor movement in the New Deal to becoming a mauor component of the New Deal coalition and the Great Society. But as the movement grew, it also diversified and triggered a counter-movement in the form of white citizens’ Councils, Klan violence, and Nixon’s southern strategy.
