^^^ Yes. Despite considering myself to be a progressive Democrat I hate that historical myth that the South suddenly became Republican in 1964 after the Civil Rights Act so we can feel better about ourselves. It was long and drawn out and could be seen before that. Hell in some cases today there is STILL support for local Democrats in very rural areas in the South. I think Alabama has a lot of white sheriffs in rural areas that are Democrats.
