WI the Southern Democrats had followed through on their threat to oppoe Truman in 1948 and held their own convention to nominate Strom Thurmond? Would the famous newspaper headline that predicted a Dewey win have been right after all?

What would have been the effect on the Democratic Party? I'm guessing an earlier North/South split over civil rights, and the South going Republican in the Sixties.
