Let me organize the facts below as you seem incapable of doing it. Southern democrats were also known as dixiecrats and as conservative as they come. The only southern democrat to vote for the 1964 civil rights act was Ralph Yarborough who was a hard core liberal and lost the next election. He was the ONLY southern democrat to vote for the 64 civil rights act. Get it? He was also the smartest of the bunch. In the house only 7% of southern democrats (dixiecrats remember??) voted for for the 1964 civil rights act. NO, NONE of the Souther Republcian voted for it. 94% of Nothern democrats (i.e. liberals) voted for the 1964 civil rights act. The only northern senator to not vote for the 64 civil rights act was Robert Byrd a well known ex KKK man. Do you get it now? NO liberals voted against the 64 civil rights act I know of and no conservatives voted for the 64civil rights act. And anyone who voted agaisnt he 64 civil rights act should be ashamed of themselves!!! So after the 64 civil rights act, the dixiecrats became Reublicans and now the south is the last bastion of the hard right wing and the less educated parts are the most conservative. See a patttern?? Get it?! edit] By party and region Note: "Southern", as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. "Northern" refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states. The original House version: Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%) Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%) Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%) Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%) The Senate version: Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%) (only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor) Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%) (this was Senator John Tower of Texas) Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%) (only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed the measure) Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%) (Senators Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, Barry Goldwater of Arizona, Edwin L. Mechem of New Mexico, Milward L. Simpson of Wyoming, and Norris H. Cotton of New Hampshire opposed the measure)
