LBJ was a known racist. The south (heavily democrat party followers) wouldn't recognize the 15th amendment. He did this because some of the followers of MLK started the a third political party known as the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party in 1964. This got National attention, and forced LBJ to sign the act. Other states (heavily Republican party) didnt have this issue.

@@joeblow527 hmm joeblow, that's an interesting opinion. i'm a professional historian though, so i don't make politicians my "hero." Giving accolades to a president for delivering a great speech while signing such a monumental historic bill is different from idolizing him. Every one of them has been dynamic with problems. No human being is worthy of that kind of worship.

​@alk3078 The right wing didn't support it. That's a revisionist history, aka Barry Goldwater. The 18 Democrats that voted against it would be Republicans today. Mostbof those Democrats where southern conservative Democrats. Most Republicans who voted for it were nothern Republicans which would Democrats Today. So you're being dishonest.
