| dbo:abstract | George Chauncey Sparks (October 8, 1884 – November 6, 1968), known as Chauncey Sparks, was an attorney and Democratic American politician who served as the 41st Governor of Alabama from 1943 to 1947. He made improvements to state education of whites and expanded the state schools and centers for agriculture. He campaigned for passage of the Boswell Amendment to the state constitution, which was designed to keep blacks disfranchised following the US Supreme Court ruling Smith v. Allwright (1944) against use of white primaries by the Democratic Party in the states. Under the state constitution, Alabama governors at the time could not serve consecutive terms so Sparks left office without seeking reelection. In 1950, Sparks ran unsuccessfully for reelection as governor. He was the only lifelong bachelor to serve as Alabama governor in the 20th century. (en) Chauncey Sparks (* 8.

Hizo mejoras en la educación estatal de los blancos y amplió las escuelas y centros estatales para la agricultura. Hizo campaña a favor de la aprobación de la Enmienda Boswell a la constitución estatal, que fue diseñada para mantener a los negros privados de sus derechos políticos tras el fallo de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos Smith v. Allwright (1944) contra el uso de primarias blancas por parte del Partido Demócrata en los estados. Según la constitución estatal, los gobernadores de Alabama en ese momento no podían cumplir mandatos consecutivos, por lo que Sparks dejó el cargo sin buscar la reelección. En 1950, Sparks se presentó sin éxito a la reelección como gobernador. Fue el único político soltero que se desempeñó como gobernador de Alabama en el siglo XX.

Fez melhorias na educação do estado dos brancos e expandiu as escolas estaduais e os centros de agricultura. Fez campanha pela aprovação da Emenda Boswell à constituição estadual, que foi elaborada para manter os negros desprivilegiados após a decisão da Suprema Corte dos EUA no caso Smith v.

Sob a constituição estadual, os governadores do Alabama na época não podiam exercer mandatos consecutivos, de modo que Sparks deixou o cargo sem tentar a reeleição. Em 1950, Sparks concorreu sem sucesso à reeleição como governador. Foi o único solteiro ao longo da vida a exercer como governador do Alabama no século XX. (pt) George Chauncey Sparks, född 8 oktober 1884 i Barbour County, Alabama, död 6 november 1968 i Eufaula, Alabama, var en amerikansk politiker (demokrat). Han var guvernör i delstaten Alabama 1943–1947. Fadern George Washington Sparks dog då Chauncey var två år gammal. Familjen flyttade till Georgia där Chauncey gick i skola och studerade vid . Sin juristexamen avlade han år 1910. Efter studierna öppnade Sparks sin advokatpraktik i Eufaula och arbetade sedan som domare 1911–1915. Sparks arbetade därefter åter som advokat. Han gifte sig aldrig men bodde tillsammans med sin syster och hennes familj. Sparks efterträdde 1943 Frank M. Dixon som guvernör. Demokraternas konservativa falang stödde Sparks i valet och många förväntade att han skulle minska på delstatens utgifter. Trots detta valde han att utnyttja krigstidens ekonomiska uppsving och satsade på utbildningen samt fördubblade de jordbruksrelaterade utgifterna i delstatens budget. Han motsatte sig utvidgningen av rösträtten bland svarta medborgare. I januari 1947 efterträddes han av Jim Folsom som företrädde en mer liberal linje i rösträttsfrågan. Sparks var delegat till demokraternas konvent inför presidentvalet i USA 1948. Han var lojal mot sitt parti och vägrade att delta i de sydstatsdelegaternas utmarsch som lämnade partiet för att stöda dixiekraten Strom Thurmond. Den unge George Wallace, som respekterade Sparks, valde även han att stanna kvar på partikonventet i Philadelphia. Baptisten Sparks avled 84 år gammal och gravsattes på Fairview Cemetery i Eufaula.
