The Upper South was not pro-civil rights, but it wasn't as an important issue as it was in the Deep South.  Also, the fact that LBJ was a Southerner (a Texan) may have helped.
There was very little difference in views on civil rights in Texas, Florida, Virginia, etc. compared to the Deep South. However, as mentioned before, the Thurmond machines didn’t have nearly as much power in the Upper South and Florida.
