re: #502 Unshaken Defiance

What we call the civil rights act was only necessary because the real implications of that civil war loss were not carried through society or culture. From a certain modern viewpoint-Legally the civil rights act was already in the constitution, no man ever had the right to own another. All citizens of age to vote, travel, work, bank, own property. We spent 200+ and counting years applying these lessons to our own. Still not there.

Uh, about that bolded part: Slavery was in the Constitution (3/5th Compromise) and Natives weren’t counted as people.
