It is true that the post civil war US southern stetes were prodominantly Democratic.
Truman's, JFK's, and LBJ's support for Civil Rights and desegregation caused the split of the Democratic Party. At first Southern Democrats called themselves "Dixie-Crates" and voted Republican on social issues, meaning Civil Rights legislation. Later these Dixie-Crates joined the Republican party. Have you noticed how most of the South is now Republican?
Today's Democratic party is really the party of JFK, LBJ, and Bill Clinton not the KKK

I think both parties have things they supported in the past that they are embarrassed about. The parties as a whole don't take on the persona of one individual like say Byrd.
