The rise of the Lily-Whites in Texas, a faction of the Republican Party that sought to promote a more racially homogenous and white-centric party, significantly influenced the viewpoints and composition of Republican politics in the state. As a result, several changes occurred:
1. **Republicans Decided to Support Prohibition**: The Lily-Whites aligned with the temperance movement, reflecting a broader cultural shift within the party that emphasized moral reform.
2. **African Americans and Other People of Color Left the Republican Party**: The Lily-Whites’ focus on white supremacy and exclusionary politics pushed many African Americans and other people of color away from the party, as they felt marginalized and disincluded.
3. **Women Started to Join the Republican Party**: Although the movement did not emphasize the inclusion of women, women began to engage politically, but this was often more aligned with conservative causes rather than a direct result of the Lily-Whites' influence.
4. **Republicans Decided to Support Secession from the Union**: This viewpoint generally does not align with the Lily-White movement, which occurred in a different historical context (post-Civil War), focusing more on aligning the party with the interests of white Texans rather than advocating for secession actions.
In summary, the primary change reflected in the Republican Party's evolution due to the rise of the Lily-Whites was the alienation of African Americans and other people of color, which ultimately contributed to a shift in party demographics and identity.
