Retired is 100% correct.Do you think you could not accuse people of lying before proving you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about? Things only look like lies when you are clueless when you have made up the truth in your head or just accepted the reality described to you without doing your due diligence. It was totally regional and not a party line vote.

Civil Rights Act of 1964 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Civil Rights Act of 1871, also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, is an important federal statute in force in the United States. Several of its provisions still exist today as codified statutes, but the most important still-existing provision is 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Act was originally enacted a few years after the American Civil War, along with the 1870 Force Act. One of the chief reasons for its passage was to protect southern blacks from the Ku Klux Klan by providing a civil remedy for abuses then being committed in the South. The statute has been subject to only minor changes since then, but has been the subject of voluminous interpretation by courts.
