The republican gains on the south, were because of civil rights, and more-than-average racists, in the deep south, that lived either in the upper class suburbs, or middle class towns with high african american population.
Once civil rights became a solid part of the democratic platform, these voters showed their true colours, and voted for a party of business and wealth, while holding onto racism as a political point. The republicans in the south, were by far more conservative than the democrats, and also more racist.
