TN, NC, NW SC and NE GA had a strong correlation among counties between the vote for LBJ in 64 and vote for Wallace in 68. This in contrast to areas of the Deep South (LA, MS, South and Central AL, South GA/North FL) and South VA that tended to correlate between Goldwater and Wallace.
TN had a significant contingent of Democrats that didn't have a problem voting for even such an outspoken civil rights supporter as Kefauver, but they were still Southern Democrats, culturally conservative, and with the tumult of the late 60s associated with the national Democratic party supported their fellow Southerner instead.
