Only the GOP in the Union states supported civil rights, just like Democrats in those Union states. But in the Confederate states, the GOP was against civil rights, just like Democrats in those Confederate states.The GOP voted for and sponsored every Civil Rights legislation that ever was created, and all but one was signed by a GOP President.
The GOP was able to get JFK on board, and Johnson was forced to sign it due to JFK's legacy and murder at the hands of a leftist.
