Why did some of the southern states vote for Barry Goldwater?

The campaign for the US Presidency in 1964 was between Democrat President Lyndon Johnson and Republican candidate Senator Barry Goldwater. Although the South had been traditionally a Democrat stronghold for decades after the US Civil War, it also had a large part of the voting population leaning to the conservative side of American politics. To many Southerners, the conservatism of Barry Goldwater seemed more in line with their ideas than did the more liberal President Johnson. So even though Johnson was a Texan, he did not command the full support of some Southern States who voted for the more conservative Goldwater.
