ESSAY ON: Strom Thurmond, the Oldest Senator

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page research paper that outlines the political career of Senator Strom Thurmond. The writer argue that Thurmond will be remembered in American politics primarily due to his longevity, as he holds the record for the longest serving senator in US history. He was still an active member of the Senate for the State of South Carolina with 48 years of service at the age 100. He will also be remembered as a staunch segregationist who fought extensively against the passage of Civil Rights legislation. Eventually, however, Thurmond acquiesced to the new political reality and concentrated his efforts on expanding influence of the Republican party in the South, which proved to be a task at which he was imminently successful. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
