This data set contains, on a county level, the proportion of county residents who are Black and the proportion of presidential votes cast for Wallace. Demographic data is based on the 1960 census. Presidential returns are from ICPSR study 13. County data from 10 southern states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas) are included. (Virginia is excluded due to the difficulty of matching counties between the datasets.) This data is analyzed in Wallace and Segal (1973).
