A huge change happened in the mid-sixties with the passage of the Voting Act/Civil Rights Act during Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Democrats lost the South over that because of racial sentments. From the Civil War until mid sixties South was out of reach for Republican for exactly the same reason since it was the party of Lincoln and what followed from it. So, back in 1938 Democratic party was the party of the more racist south states.
