Thats correct. After the Civil Rights legislature passed in the 1960s (advocated by Democrats) southern Democrats aka Dixiecrats aka think Strom Thurmond left the Democratic party and flipped to the Republican side. This is when the social realignment of occurred and the Republican party started moving towards more anti-minority policies.
