The idea that republicans wanted to gain voters and thus gained the racists in the south in the 50's just isn't true. When Johnson signed the civil rights act in 64, than all the "Racist republicans" in the south would have gained seats. Than why did the south not go red until the 90's. Why were they still democrats, because democrats still had racist values and the only reason the republicans have gained the south's support is because of industrialization and middle class of the south.
