This is what the essay said about the two parties generally. If you insist that many Democrats were really Republicans and thus skews the figures, knowing you I will not bother to debate it. They were part of the Democratic Party and part of the platform, the conscience and the direction of it. Still, figures show that the majority of Republicans were voting for civil rights.......even if you claim So. Democrats were really Republicans. The real issue with them is they wanted to get re-elected and feared the wrath of their constituents. Maybe they should actually have been considered a third party in this issue. "The Republican Party was not so badly split as the Democrats by the civil rights issue. Only one Republican senator participated in the filibuster against the bill. In fact, since 1933, Republicans had a more positive record on civil rights than the Democrats. In the twenty-six major civil rights votes since 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 % of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 % of the votes.
