How did Goldwater get 87% in Mississippi in 1964?  Black people had the right to vote by then, so they must have gone overwhelmingly for Goldwater in Mississippi as well.  What happened?
It was the Voting Right Act of 1965 that enfranchised blacks, not the Civil Rights of 1964. This allowed the Dixiecrats to punish Lyndon.
