During the 1960s,the Civil Rights Movement dictated Mississippi's politics,with effectively the entire white population vehemently opposed to federal policies of racial desegregation and black voting rights. In 1960,the state had been narrowly captured by a slate of unpledged Democratic electors,but in 1964 universal white opposition to the Civil Rights Act and negligible black voter registration meant that white Mississippians turned almost unanimously to Republican Barry Goldwater. Goldwater's support for "constitutional government and local self-rule" meant that the absence from the ballot of "states' rights" parties or unpledged electors was unimportant. The Arizona Senator was one of only six Republicans to vote against the Civil Rights Act,and so the small electorate of Mississippi supported him almost unanimously.
