It all started when Congress passed and President Lyndon Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Senator Barry Goldwater voted against it. When Goldwater ran against Johnson for president, Goldwater became the first Republican candidate for president to win Georgia. It was simply a matter of race.
