  2. Important to point out that opponents of the Civil Rights movement also made the connection (the "exact parallel," as Percy Greene, the editor of the Mississippi Advocate, pointed out in this piece) to Reconstruction.

    I grew up in a country ruled by a corrupt & barely literate demagogue, who hung on to power because of the military & financial elites. In public we pretended to venerate him but we all KNEW he was a moron. We were a poor country but we didn’t stop using our brains.

  4. Here's the great historian, John Hope Franklin, in 1964 speaking of the "100-year Civil Rights struggle since the Civil War." No "upending," contra Sullivan, but finally fulfilling the Reconstruction Amendments.

  5. And, of course, C. Vann Woodward spoke of the nascent Civil Rights movements as a "Second Reconstruction."

    Sullivan ignores Reconstruction in another way as well, when he claims that only in the 1960s did civil rights become "a regime of ending discrimination by individuals in economic and social life.” That's exactly what Congress tried to do with the Civil Rights Act of ... 1875.

    BTW, and made these points in September before the Andrew Sullivan article or the Caldwell book appeared. They seem particularly relevant in response to Sullivan's framing, which presumably is also Caldwell's.

    2/2 civil rights legislations of the 1960’s were a very belated attempt to breathe life back into the Reconstruction amendments - something we had tried and failed to do between 1865 and 1875. It’s ignorant to say that they were about upending they constitution.

    The Voting Rights Act was called “An act to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution.” Those who passed Civil Rights laws in the 1960s saw them not as “upending” the Constitution (as Andrew Sullivan has it) but as fulfilling it,as amended during the Reconstruction era

    H.L. Hunt, patriarch of the Hunt family, was a major figure on the far right. On this subject, I recommend ’s excellent, “Nut Country: Right-Wing Dallas and the Birth of the Southern Strategy”

    Here’s a fun history project for the weekend: count up the number of times that fighting between center-left and far-left parties and/or candidates have cleared the way for right-wing fascist movements to gain power.

    Politically, this is risk that GOP senators have been running. The story will come out before election, if not completely. As it comes out, it will make the Senate "trial" look worse, not better. They will have to defend that process to voters, who will know what was being hidden

    This is really unnecessary and unhealthy for a Democratic Party that needs to unite to defeat Donald Trump this year.

    I made a similar surmise as back in March, 2016 in and also used the "cried wolf" phrase: "Having cried wolf and equated even mild reform with socialism for many generations, the Chamber has nothing new or different to say..."
