If the South was an independent country, virtually every major issue of any significance would have gone the other way in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries:
- There would be no Civil Rights Act of 1964, no Voting Rights Act of 1965, no Fair Housing Act of 1968, no Civil Rights Act of 1991.
- There would be no 14th Amendment or 15th Amendment.
- There would be no 19th Amendment.
- There would be no Brown decision. There would be no Loving decision. There would be no Smith v. Allwright decision. There would be no Roe v. Wade decision.
- There would be no Immigration Act of 1965, no IRCA amnesty, no Immigration Act of 1990. There would be no DREAM Act or comprehensive immigration reform.
- There would be no DADT repeal.
- There would be no Obama. There would be no Obamacare.
“BRA” wouldn’t exist today — it exists here only because of the Union. It was imposed upon us by the federal government.
