1. Why do think Southern racist politicians chose to frame their defense of racial segregation through the language of “law and order”? What special advantages was this choice of words going to give them?

When the Southern racist politicians chose to frame a racial segregation through the idea of “Law and Order” I believe they thought that they could argue that this idea is not racist because it goes for everyone. When really they would only target minorities

2.Do you think the Southern Strategy is still influencing American politics? Give an example supporting your answer.

I would say the southern strategy is still influencing some part of politics in general. We say as America we are working hard to fix certain things within our society, like fix racism and be more inclusive with everyone, but yet throughout America there are still horrible things that happen everyday for example with law enforcement.
