The majority of white southerners did. Blacks anywhere between 1860 and 1930's strongly supported the Republican Party.

Yes. Because the Republican party was instrumental in Reconstruction (which took over the governments of Southern states after the Civil War), the former Confederate states became ardently Democratic, forming the so-called "solid South."

Unfortunately, these Democratic majorities (whose support was actively sought in Congress) were used to maintain white supremacy in much of the South, which lasted until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
