What is an assumption that can be made about the Old South (Civil War era), and the South of the 1950s and 1960s?

Many/All of the anti-Lincoln states (during the 1960s) were also the same anti-integrations states of the 50s and 60s.

Things had changed drastically from the Old South era to the modern South era for the better.

The "climate" of the Old South had shifted from many examples of racism and bigotry to openness and tolerance by the time the Civil Rights era had emerged.

John Lewis and MLK, Jr., had made tremendous strides towards shifting and changing attitudes of racism in the South to gaining voting rights for ALL during the 1930s and 1940s (pre-Brown vs Board of Ed era).

During the war on racism in America, MLK and John Lewis's MAIN weapon was:

non-violent protests and getting anti-segregation/anti-Jim Crow laws passed

violent protests and getting anti-segregation/anti-Jim Crow laws pushed through legislative bodies of government

non-violent activity, sit-ins, marches, and drastic compromise with Jim Crow laws legislators.

to compromise on possibly allowing segregation practices to remain as status quo in public areas.

What would be an appropriate title for a newspaper (back during the 50s/early 60s) based on the following quotes? *"We're going to shake things up and put the Confederate Battle Flag (on the flag itself)." *We don't want to integrate, and that's how most Georgians feel, too. We'd rather close our schools than have to do this."
