Republicans, in general, were oppositional to the Civil Rights movement in the 50s Not really. It was mostly southern Democrats in opposition. It was Eisenhower that ordered in the army to enforce the Brown decision. Republicans voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act in larger percentages than the Democrats did (of course that's the 60s not the 50s, but its only a half decade removed) By party The original House version:[9] * Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%) * Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%) The Senate version:[9] * Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%-31%) * Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%) The Senate version, voted on by the House:[9] * Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%) * Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%) en.wikipedia.org
