Is this about my being wrong and you proving it, or is it about understanding a concept.

You say you don't memorize names, ever hear of google" Here is the vote and notice they separate out southern dems----for a reason!! It took me 10 seconds. This vote makes the point--study it!!

By party and region[ edit]Note: "Southern", as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that 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. [24]

The original House version:

  • Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
  • Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
  • Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
  • Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
The Senate version:


.

Generally speaking the liberal Democrats supported the African American in their civil rights fight and conservatives and especially southern conservatives fought against integration.

The Democratic party is the progressive party and that is where most of the liberals call home.

That is why the African American vote over 90% Democratic in every election.

And why over 70% of Latinos and Asians vote Democratic and why the women and kids are fleeing to the Democratic party .

Most people want to live in a progressive society where civil rights reign and the middle class and poor are helped.

<,
Who were those people besides the two conflicted southerners you posted??

You said there weren't any. One is enough to show your wrong.

I posted two. I don't even know the names of that many on either side of the vote from back then. It was over 50 years ago, and its not like I memorize the names of a large numbers of even current members of congress. You complain about having to click back a few posts, but now you want me to research and present the voting records of a bunch of politicians from before I was born? I'm not getting paid for any of this. You won't do the research yourself but you always want others to do it.

But almost all the Democrats who voted against it remained in the Democratic party. The southern Democratic senator who switch parties after voting against the 1964 civil rights act was Strom Thurmond. (not going to look up hundreds of representatives, but if it happened there it wasn't common).

You know I said I wasn't going to give you more but fine I'll throw in another name. Sam Ervin. OTOH Ervin seems to have voted against the bill for genuine constitutional scruples, not racism or pandering to racism, so he's like Goldwater in that regard. Still you didn't specify reason for voting.

And a forth name J. Lister Hill.
