      About five and a third years ago we discussed it.  Here is a link

        the Civil Right Act, with the support of Democrats and
        Republicans. It's true that the majority of Southern Democrats
        opposed the legislation. We can't and shouldn't pretend that's
        not true. But here's an article looking at the vote from a
        geographical perspective:<br>

        <br>
        We also shouldn't forget Nixon's Southern Strategy, and it's
        pretty clear that the former Dixiecrats have become Republicans.
        Howiington isn't alone in taking the position below, but I never
        see people taking that position talking about the post-Nixon
        shift. <br>
