Update.

The Congressional Quarterly of June 26, 1964 (p. 1323) recorded that, in the Senate, only 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as compared to 82% of Republicans (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democratic senators voted against the Act. This includes the current senator from West Virginia and former KKK member Robert C. Bryd and former Tennessee senator Al Gore, Sr. [...]

In the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act; 92 of the 103 southern Democrats voted against it. Among Republicans, 80% (138 for, 34 against) voted for it.

I agree that the regional differences are important almost as much as the party affiliation itself, though not exactly as much.

I do not agree that the South was universally anti-CRA (you are not saying this), and it turns out that Goldwater voted against it mostly on technical points. Still, the fact that he voted against it, and then became the presidentail candidate, was the undoing of the Republican party.

I used to have a different impression of this. Of course, if I read more, my impression is likely to change once more, and more than once.
