For some reason, MS (& SC) were the most partisan states during the "Solid South" era and Republicans just couldn't crack 20% of the vote (or even 10% in SC).
Alabama, and to a lesser extent Georgia, had more Republicans and more room to increase the Republican vote under circumstances where the Democrat was Catholic or a bad fit for the South. They had fewer blacks, I think, and areas in their northern regions voted more like the Upper South.
