     This data set contains, on a county level, the proportion of
     county residents who are Black and the proportion of presidential
     votes cast for Wallace.  Demographic data is based on the 1960
     census. Presidential returns are from ICPSR study 13.  County data
     from 10 southern states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida,
     Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
     Texas) are included. (Virginia is excluded due to the difficulty
     of matching counties between the datasets.) This data is analyzed
     in Wallace and Segal (1973).
