This article examines the support for civil rights bills among members of the U.S. House from southern and border states over a 20-year period. In the 1960s, members from the deep South were considerably more opposed to black civil rights than were representatives from the rim South or border states. Over time, the distinctiveness of the deep South from the rim South has largely eroded. The deep South continues to be more conservative on civil rights than the border states, although differences have moderated. For most legislative sessions, party is a significant predictor, with Democrats more liberal than Republicans. Even in the deep South, Democrats are now more supportive of black civil rights than are Republicans
