Where were ya in '64, non-seq? Barry won six states that year - all in the old confederacy.
The GOP only took six states in the 'old confederacy' in '56, three in '60, five in '68, four in '52, none in '48...or '44...or '40...or '36. Y'all have come late to the Party of Lincoln, and then you waltz in and act like you own the place.
