| dc.description.abstract | Do Southern Senators speak differently from Non-Southern Senators? This question aims to target an under-researched area in the field of Southern politics and to contribute to the debate on past and current Southern exceptionalism. This thesis is a content analysis of relevant speeches made in the US Senate surrounding the Voting Rights Act of 1965 regarding the use of rhetorical devices, call to action, and emotionality. | en_US |
