Dixiecrats were a faction of conservative Democrats in the mid-20th century who supported racial segregation and opposed Civil Rights initiatives. The term "Dixiecrats" itself is synonymous with this group, but other terms could also be used. Some examples include "Southern Democrats," "Segregationist Democrats," and "Jim Crow Democrats." These terms all highlight the party's support for segregation and opposition to the Civil Rights Movement. Other terms like "Rednecks," "Hillbillies," and "White Trash" are sometimes used colloquially to describe similar individuals with similar political beliefs, but these terms are generally considered pejorative.
