Most white southerners, not all by any means, accepted "equal rights" even if they didn't like it or agree with it because it was, after all, the "American Way". If all whites in the south had opposed equal rights, black bodies would have been stacked a mile high and no damn army would have forced it on them. Don't demand, don't order, don't require us southerners to do something, ask us and you're more likely to get what you want. We're just naturally stubborn.......see Civil War for details.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.†- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
