Why do you keep appealing to the "USMB forum"? That is odd. Do you speak for them? Are you like a USMB officer or something? Anyhow....
I do like to read. Mostly fantasy. Wheel of Time, Shannara series, Thomas Covenant series...probably my favorite is the Belgariad/Mallorean series. I have read quite a few Jack Reacher books though. You can learn a surprising amount about guns with those books.
I read Battlecry of Freedom by James McPherson and its an outstanding book on the civil war. I highly recommend.
What books do you read?
Will something from the Encyclopedia Britannica suffice?

Southern strategy, in the political history of the United States, a campaign strategy of the Republican Party, actively pursued from the 1960s, that initially sought to increase and preserve support from white voters in the South by subtly endorsing racial segregation, racial discrimination, and the disenfranchisement of Black voters. The strategy has also involved directly promoting conservative views on immigration, taxes, social welfare programs, law enforcement, and states’ rights.
The Southern strategy proved successful. By the late 1970s, the regular political leadership of most Southern states had switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.
Conversely, can you name a credible historical reference that supports your contention that the Southern strategy didn't take place?
