Not research and doesn't support your case. The truth is Democrats in the south voted for over 100 years for Democrat racists because they hated Lincoln. They founded the KKK as a terrorist arm of the Democratic party that lynched blacks and white Republicans, they opposed the abolition of slavery, fought against the Civil Rights Act and promoted Planned Parenthood as a means to control the population of black Americans.
It was a Republican, Dr. Martin Luther King, who finally won the civil rights battle against racist Democrats. Attacks by Democrats led to his death. In March of 1968, while referring to Dr. King, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, called Dr. King a "trouble-maker" who starts trouble, but runs like a coward after trouble is ignited. A few weeks later, Dr. King was assassinated. Years later Byrd served as a leader of the liberal wing of the Democrat party, three steps away from the Presidency and was given the title "conscious of the Senate" by Democrats.
The idea that "the Dixiecrats joined the Republicans" is not true. But, because of Strom Thrumond is accepted by liberals as a fact. The term Dixiecrat is promoted by Democrats as a way of hiding their racist past.

Only one switched parties, Strom Thurman after the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act were passed. Similar small changes occurred in the house and Governorship in the south.
Watch this video to educate yourself on the history of racism in America. Or obfuscate, shift topics and pretend it doesn't exist. What you won't do is present contrary information which refutes it.
