the provision that said - you naughty little Jim Crow states of the South (even though Jim Crow was common in other states), you've got to get our approval before you change ANY election laws because we know you'll try to exclude Blacks.
It was presumption of harm, not any showing of actual harm. And just like today, the Dems now claim any changes are PRESUMED to harm anytime it's Republicans doing it. Maryland gerrymandering, for example, you never hear about.
" Maryland gerrymandering, for example," Unfortunately, I had to live through it!
There is no politician on planet earth that can change the current state of black America. None. Obama couldn't do it in 8 years, Democrats couldn't do it in 60 years of blind loyalty from the black community.
There is nothing a Democrat can do for me, that I can't do for myself. Blacks are committing self-genocide, and you're worried about how we can keep voting Democrat.
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
yeah, because the white liberals in the North left their farms and family to go fight and die in the South because they view blacks equal and wanted blacks to compete for their jobs on a equal basis. They wanted blacks to take their jobs. That's why they fought and died to make it "right".
Tucker Carlson? the only plantation running today is the DNC. Al Sharpton would be the character of Stephen Warren in Django.

If this was true, why was the draft needed?
Why did so many NOT show up after being drafted?
Why did so many desert?
"To call the draft unpopular would be an vast understatement. Many criticized it as an affront to personal liberty that undermined voluntary enlistments. Volunteer soldiers often held draftees in contempt, and there was fear that men forced to fight would do so poorly. Many draftees did the equivalent of burning their draft cards and simply did not show up."
"On July 7, during the height of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation putting into effect the first military draft after several months of registration. It was authorized by the Enrollment Act of 1863 passed in March, and was the first draft actually enforced in the history of the United States.
"Desertion proved a far more difficult problem for both sides. Official figures show slightly over 103,000 Confederate soldiers and over 200,000 Union soldiers deserted, with some estimates as high as 280,000. New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio made up almost half of all Union desertions"
More of north vs south vote. Southern Republicans voted in mass against Civil rights for decades along with their southern Democrats. Once the South solidified their opposition to Civil Rights in general, Nixon saw a lane to the Whitehouse.
The real story is there were few supporters in Congress in states below Virginia across the board until
1964 vote:
Note that ”Southern”, as used here, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that had made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. ”Northern” refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.
The House of Representatives:[32]
Northern: 281–32 (90–10%)
Southern: 8–94 (8–92%)
The Senate:[32]
Northern: 72–6 (92–8%)
Southern: 1–21 (5–95%) – Ralph Yarborough of Texas was the only Southerner to vote in favor in the Senate
More democrats vs repubs. Parties matter, location doesn't. There were hardly any Repubs in the Jim Crow South. Every single Jim Crow law was passed by a democratic legislature.
The dems would have elected the segregationist George Wallace as their nominee in 1972 except he was shot. He lost the poplar vote by less than 2.5% and he didn't campaign the last 1/4 of the primary. btw Wallace won Michigan and Maryland. Came in 2nd in New Mexico, Indiana, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. None of those are ex Confederate states.
the OP, like president houseplant, has zero idea what jim crow laws actually were.
President Produce may have known what Jim Crow was at some point. These days he doesn't know what type of cucumber he is. I'm REALLY tired of hearing "return to Jim Crow" over and over and over. The Dems and the neo left are trying for the "repeat a lie often enough it becomes truth" bit in earnest. And the Civil War has been over for closer to 160 years than not now. Confederate monuments are being razed or removed, Confederate cemeteries vandalized, every little statement or object that can be inferred to have some sort of "racist" or "White supremacist" meaning is being stricken from the dictionary or removed from labels and such...where does it end? The term "*****rdly" which means for all intent and purpose a stingy Scrooge sound to much like the "N" word so it hath been stricken. (I wonder if the filters will let that through?) Aunt Jemimah and Uncle Ben's hath been stricken as well. I'm surprised the Pillsbury Dough boy hasn't been attacked as a "little fat guy in a Klan outfit" or something.
And we're supposed to buy that Jim Crow is back? That there is this looming threat of White supremacist terrorism (as BLM burns cities across the country) oh, and the Klan comes out at night and prowls the streets cleverly disguised as police officers. Just ask Kamala Harris, Ayana Presely, AOC, [resident Produce, Ilham Omar, Al Sharpton et al. I's have put Jesse Jackson at the head of that list at one time ...but...I've actually heard him say a few things over time that made decent sense. Rare, yes, but unlike all the others he did make sense a couple times.
