I feel like you need someone other than Humphrey for this to work tbh.1975: In a landmark meeting, George Wallace and allies meet with President Humphrey to begin the "Southern Compromise". The south, as a so-called "designated region" within the United States, would have to be guaranteed participation on all presidential tickets and cabinets, and most southern laws would be "respected" by North, with a national referendum system to be utilized where all "controversial laws" would need majority backing from the south. However, segregation as it once existed would still end, but the existence of white paramilitaries would set back black groups for years. George Wallace would become Secretary of State, while "compromise candidate" Carl Sanders is made Vice President.

"The Wallace Movement, built on decades of southern anger towards the increasingly authoritarian rule by the north, would show its full strength on November 5, 1968. A coalition stretching from the Mormon west to the Upper south showed that Americans, of all stripes, were growing opposed to government overreach."
