And it was Southern white lawmakers who refused to ratify the Constitution if it contained an Amendment to abolish slavery. It too 78 years, and the most horrible war this nation suffered, to ratify the 13th Amendment. And another 76 years to do away with "legal" segregation.

You're right. No one disputes that. But since I know of no legislature or congress since the War Between the States with a majority of African-Americans, I'm sure my statement is accurate. White lawmakers, from wherever in this country, passed the laws that "ensure equal rights for all [races]." You'd agree to that, I'm sure.
