Southern guys left the Democratic Party and went with the Republican party. This was obviously because the civil rights plank involved blacks being accepted.
US Republican Party became a conservative political party in the 1950s and 1960s as the Democratic Party broke between the northern Democrats, who were more left-wing and became the Democratic Party of today, and the southern Democrats or Dixiecrats, who were much more conservative in their viewpoints, especially on the question of legal equality between Whites and Blacks. As the northern Democrats pushed for expanding welfare programs, the war on drugs, and the Civil Rights Movement, the Republican leadership realized that it could capitalize on the divide between Democrats and capture the Dixiecrat vote by becoming more conservative.

Southern delegates left the 1860 Democratic Convention in Charleston primarily due to deep divisions over the issue of slavery. The party was split between Northern Democrats, who favored popular sovereignty, and Southern Democrats, who wanted a stronger federal protection of slavery. When the convention refused to adopt a pro-slavery platform, the Southern delegates felt their interests were not being represented and ultimately walked out in protest, leading to the fragmentation of the Democratic Party. This division significantly impacted the outcome of the 1860 presidential election.
