I still stand with 1964 at the Presidential level.

Not at the congressional level. In January 1963 (88th Congress), the composition of the Southern states in the Senate and the House were as follows:

House Delegation:
(Democrats-Republicans)

Alabama 8-0
Arkansas 4-0
Florida 10-2
George 10-0
Louisiana 8-0
Mississippi 8-0
North Carolina 9-2
South Carolina 6-0
Tennessee 6-3
Texas 21-2
Virginia 8-2

Total: 98-11
Senate Delegation:
(Democrats-Republicans)

Alabama 2-0
Arkansas 2-0
Florida 2-0
George 2-0
Louisiana 2-0
Mississippi 2-0
North Carolina 2-0
South Carolina 2-0
Tennessee 2-0
Texas 1-1
Virginia 2-0

Total: 21-1

That is pretty overwhelmingly Democrat.
