Someone doesn't know history but likes to spout off as if he does. That is cute. You may want to look up the Southern Strategy and do some light reading to educate yourself. Don't you get tired looking the fool?
I'll help you out, but their is a lot more you can learn if you dig deeper.

Democratic defectors, known as the “Dixiecrats,” started a switch to the Republican party in a movement that was later fueled by a so-called "Southern strategy."

It's not really worth trying to use facts and figures with people who will continue to believe what they've been trained to believe.
The easiest way to explain it, in my opinion:
Southern Conservatives controlled the Democratic Party and built their society and economy on slavery.
Southern Conservatives controlled the Democratic Party and seceded from the US, committing treason against the US.
Southern Conservatives controlled the Democratic Party and enacted Jim Crow and supported Segregation after the Civil War.
Southern Conservatives balked when Democratic President Truman desegregated the US Army in 1948.
Southern Conservative and Democrat Strom Thurmond ran against Truman as a Dixiecrat and won EC votes in 1948 because of Desegregation.
Southern Conservatives began to formally leave the Democratic Party starting in 1964 because of Democratic Party support of Civil Rights Legislation.
Southern Conservative elected politicians almost completely switched to the Republican Party WHILE IN OFFICE by the early 1990s.
But yes, the Democratic Party of 160 years ago were Confederates. So, Democrats are the real racists or whatever.
Suck on that libtards!
