What is the voting per party on the 1964 civil rights bill?
The 1964 Civil Rights Act faced significant opposition in Congress, particularly from Southern Democrats.

In the House, the vote was 289 in favor and 126 against, again reflecting a strong bipartisan support, although most opposition came from Southern lawmakers.

How did the civil rights movement affect the gay rights movement?
The language of the civil rights movement has been used to fight the opposition of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. The civil rights movement did not directly affect the gay rights movement, but it did influence some on how they could make their secret open and accepted by others. This eventually became known as Gay Liberation. It may sound similar to Women Liberation, the movement where women wanted rights to vote, get abortions, and have the same pay as men. Another term, Gay Power, originally came from the term Black Power which was part of the civil rights movement.
What did the 1969 civil rights act focus on?
There were the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Civil Rights Act of 1968, but I don't think there was a Civil Rights Act of 1969.
Are the reconstruction era that followed the civil war and the modern civil rights movement?
Yes, the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War and the modern Civil Rights Movement are both significant periods in American history focused on addressing racial inequality and expanding civil rights for African Americans. Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to integrate formerly enslaved individuals into society and grant them rights, but it faced strong opposition and ultimately led to the establishment of Jim Crow laws. The modern Civil Rights Movement, primarily from the 1950s to the 1960s, sought to dismantle systemic racism and secure legal rights for African Americans, culminating in landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Both eras reflect ongoing struggles for justice and equality in the United States.
How did the civil rights movement progress from difficult beginnings to great successes in 1964-1965 and then encounter increasing opposition from both black militants and white backlash after 1965?
The success of the civil rights movement started with the passing of many bills by President Johnson. However there was backlash in 1965 when the Golf of Tonkin resolution gave the ability to have police action present in Vietnam. This was met with opposition by both black militants and the "white backlash".
