American Independent Party

The American Independent Party is a political party in the United States founded in 1967, known for its conservative and populist positions. It generally emphasizes states' rights, limited government, traditional values, and skepticism of rapid social change. While it has had some influence, it remains a minor party in the American political landscape, often endorsing candidates who align with its views rather than competing directly with the two main parties. Its most notable moment was in the 1968 presidential election when its candidate, George Wallace, garnered significant votes highlighting regional and cultural divides.
