Written by Senator Albert Gore and published in 1970, this book is a campaign biography where he recounts his refusal to sign the “Southern Manifesto.”
“I was placed in the anguishing position of either violating my legislative conscience by signing a thoroughly unsound document or of appearing to go ‘against the South,’ ” he wrote. But, he said, “I took a stand on principle and the people of my state approved.” Mr. Gore, Senior was a remarkable figure, willing to act of conscience and to pay the political consequences.
