They left the party and became republicans during the Johnson administration because of his "Great Society" ideology, if'n I disremember correctly.
Sorry but no, they became Blue Dogs & what were known as Gray Hair Democrats (Byrd and many may others who Died Democrats rather than switch partys ) The ones who Switched Parties like Ronald Reagan & Strom Thurmond & others Switched in the late 1940s & early 50's
