The only reason the deep south voted for Goldwater was they were pissed that Johnson had sold them out on civil rights after they had gotten him & JFK elected in 1960
in what had been the tightest election up till that point since 1888.The only other state he carried was Arizona,his home state.In the main,the South broke with the Democratic Party over Civil Rights during the Sixties & Seventies,The NorthEast & California had been going more slowly and more quietly democratic since the 1920's when most of the "Progressives" left the Republican Party 'en Mass'.
