Dale's point is correct and the way things should be viewed.

As an Arkansas, I lived through the whole thing. The South was solidly and reliably Democratic before the Civil Rights legislation. It had been in a tizzy for years starting in 1957 because of forced integration of the schools.....begun under a Republican, Eisenhower. LBJ was considered a turncoat and the final straw in terms of the anger many Southern voters had at the time.

The Republican Party capitalized on this, it now had a toehold in the South. Over time, the party pulled the so-called "Dixiecrats" into their fold, then Christian Conservatives, and so on.
