After the rise of the Lily-Whites, the Texas Republican viewpoint shifted significantly, particularly leading to the exclusion of African Americans and other people of color from the party. The Lily-Whites were a faction of the Republican Party in the South that sought to promote the interests of white conservatives and distance themselves from the party's post-Civil War support base, which included many African Americans. Consequently, as the Lily-Whites gained influence, many African Americans and other people of color began to leave the Republican Party, leading to a significant demographic and ideological shift within the Texas Republican Party during that period.
