The democratic party of 1865 is not the democratic party of today. The party's switched. Most blue dog democrats from the south left the democratic party and joined the republican party.
David Duke the former grand dragon of the Louisiana KKK is just one example of a southerner who was in the democratic party but left to join the republican party in 1988.
When LBJ was trying to get the civil rights bill passed in 1965 he had to cut deals with republicans to get them to vote for it. Senator Stom Thurman (a republican) used the filibuster against the civil rights bill. You remember Strom Thurman the former dixie crat and stauch segregationist who had a child with a black woman.
Southern democrats of the 1860's put in Jim Crow laws. However,it is the republican party of 2021 that is trying to keep those voting laws on the books.
