      Yep, the US South is built on slavery, racism and saturated fats.

      constitution provided rights and this was unnecessary showy display, during a time when empires and stuff like that was ending anyway

      LBJ was a hero of his time for persuading so many senators to vote yes. Jumbo really put in the work!

      Seriously, fuck the South. Let them off too easy in 1865 and they have been a shitshow and anti-progress since then.

      Should have stripped voting rights from any Confederate infantry and hanged any officer.

      Things would be much better now.

      This doesn’t mean shit because it was getting passed anyways. A more revealing vote would be the cloture vote, since that requires 67 votes to kill the Southern filibuster. Some notable switches are Senator Alan Bible (D-NV) and Senator Wallace Bennett (R-UT) who both voted against cloture but for the act. On the other hand, Senator Bourne Hickenlooper (R-IA) and Norris Cotton (R-NH) both voted for cloture but against the bill, therefore playing a more significant role in its passage.
