Sadly, no. The Dixiecrats were the Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act and every other civil rights movement, so they left the Democrat party and became Republicans who accepted them because it gave the GOP seats (and racism wasn’t really considered a bad thing in those days), and that gave the Dems the ability to claim that we are the racists for all time.
