As the national Democratic Party endorsed black civil rights by the late 1960s, southern Democrats responded by becoming Republicans.
The civil rights movement was a political campaign and movement in the United States from 1954 to 1968 to abolish institutional racial discrimination, segregation, and disenfranchisement throughout the US. The civil rights movement had its origins in the Reconstruction era during the late 19th century, though it made its largest legislative gains in the 1960s after years of grassroots protests and direct actions. The movement's civil disobedience and major nonviolent resistance eventually secured new protections in federal law for the civil rights of all Americans, including black Americans.
