Democrat history: All civil rights legislation from 1865 to 1965 was passed over the objections of Democrats. Every civil rights initiative during that period, from the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1875, was proposed and passed by Republicans. Democrats did manage to successfully block at least three federal anti-lynching measures during this period. Not only did the Democrats try to derail civil rights legislation, but they introduced segregation, Jim Crow laws and various other forms of discrimination against blacks. It was the GOP that shepherded the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 through Congress and forced them onto President Lyndon Johnson’s desk. Johnson attached his name and his party to their legacy by signing them into law.
