Which party in the south was in favor of segregation in the 1950s?

In the 1950s, the Democratic Party, particularly its Southern wing, was largely in favor of segregation. Many Southern Democrats upheld Jim Crow laws and resisted civil rights movements aimed at ending racial segregation. Their stance was rooted in a long history of maintaining white supremacy and racial segregation in the region. This opposition eventually contributed to a significant political realignment in the following decades.
