The politics of the political parties changed more than the politics of the states. Vermont + Massachusetts used to be solid republican states. South Carolina was 98% democratic in the 40's. Civil rights was one of the main reasons for the flip.

Republicans passed basically every Civil Rights Act.

President Lyndon Johnson had to rely on Everett Dirkson, the Republican leader from Illinois, to get the Civil Rights Act passed, just like Clinton had to rely on Republicans to get NAFTA passed.

It was the Democrats back in 1964 who were at war with themselves and conflicted over civil rights.
