Yeah, thanks to southern racists, in 1968 George Wallace was the most successful independent candidate in modern times.

"In 1968, Wallace entered the presidential campaign as a candidate for his own American Independent party. He ran on an anti-federal government, anti-civil rights agenda, arguing that there was not a "dime's worth of difference" between the two main candidates, Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. Wallace competed successfully and won more than 13 percent of the nation's popular vote, and 46 electoral votes."
