Answer 1

Hubert Humphrey ran against Richard Nixon and George Wallace in the 1968 presidential election. The major differences among them were related to their stance on civil rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1968 presidential election, Hubert Humphrey was running against Richard Nixon and George Wallace. The major differences among them were related to their stance on civil rights. While Humphrey had the support of the antiwar populace and was a loyal party man, Nixon and Wallace appealed to voters by expressing their anxieties about civil rights, women's rights, antiwar protests, and the counterculture. Wallace, a former Democrat and segregationist, ran as an independent candidate and won in 5 Southern states. Nixon, a Republican candidate, won the election.
